April Showers Bring... Funding Opportunties!

While our #1 focus should be running high quality programs and ending the year strong, we must also begin to look forward to the next academic year. Here are some RFPs and interesting articles from the philanthropy world that you should take some time to review:

PNC is working with community organizations to roll our financial literacy curricula. With PNC being a NJ based bank, this could open up some opportunities for our Newark programs.

The NEA and Nickelodeon have teamed up to offer $5000 grants for service programs. This is a great opportunity to work collaboratively with a certified teacher from your school and show the extra value your organizations bring!

With Spring having fully sprung, it might be a great time for a school-based garden project. Whole Foods is offering $2000 grants to fund such projects.

As you write grants to support your programming, don't forget that your programs can be a key resource to improve literacy skills. Check out this article reinforcing what we already know - literacy is incredibly important, particularly for the most vulnerable populations.
