Details:
Grants will be awarded on a competitive basis for services and interventions, and funds must be expended by June 30, 2023. This grant is open to publicly-funded school educators (teachers, TAs, interventionists, counselors, principals, etc.) and Durham youth-serving organizations. In order for a proposal to be eligible for grant funding, it must demonstrate a student-centered and equity approach and provide clear rationale for how it is connected to the following categories.
For this funding round, special consideration will be given to programs, initiatives, and projects that both fall within these areas and that address specific COVID-19 recovery-related needs. Consideration will be given to proposals outside of these categories but otherwise fit into the funding criteria (i.e. student-centered, equity approach, education/college & career readiness).
Proposed interventions and initiatives must be student-centered, embrace an equity approach to community engagement, and align with at least one of the following focus areas:
- Effective early childhood learning interventions
- Learning interventions that promote community and family engagement
- School-based outdoor learning and dining accommodations
- Social-emotional supports for students and their wellbeing
- College and career readiness programming and advising for high school students
- Skills-based summer programming for high school students
- Development initiatives for teachers
Grant Amount
Most awards will be up to $5,000.
Criteria
They encourage applications from educator teams that show the promise of creating school-level systemic change. Educator teams can, but are not required to, include the school principal. Applicants must indicate support from their principal with their proposal. Applications that focus on collaboration among different schools or organizations are encouraged.
