Funding Tips
Funding for extended-day learning programs comes from many sources. Here's a short sampling.
- Federal funding. Find federal resources that provide grants and funding for extended learning programs.
- Parents. Ask for parent donations. Parents are usually willing to donate varying amounts to enrich their child's learning.
- Local businesses. Recruit businesses to provide support -- through funding or other resources. Do your research first; many businesses receive requests for support. Understand the company history, and make contact with the right representatives.
- Foundations. Research local and state foundations dedicated to serving youth, the arts, health, and related topics.
