Program Focus
- Data-driven literacy-based programs focused on developing robust reading and writing skills with a strong history of success.
- These can be programs that:
- Take place during school hours, after school, or during the summer.
- Take place across school systems, but the funding can support only nonsectarian programming including within a religious institution.
- Grades K-8 programs should devote at least 70 percent of their time directly to instruction and activities in reading and writing.
- Grades 9-12 programs should provide innovative approaches to students in under-resourced areas for success in higher education, from the college admission process and acceptance through to completion.
- Youth workforce development programs that focus on quality career exploration and preparation initiatives.
- Recreational programs with a strong academic component.
Things To Consider
- First-time grants: generally designated for program support. The Trust rarely funds new staff positions for initial grants.
- Continuing partners: generally made for either programmatic or operational support.
- Multi-year grants: requests are typically reserved for grantees with five (5) years or more of consecutive funding from the Trust. Multi-year grants require approval prior to application submission. Approval is generally communicated in response to the LOI.
