Funding Strategies for Statewide Afterschool Networks

About this grant

This grant will allow the Finance Project to help states complete and implement afterschool sustainability plans. As the field of afterschool has grown, a common challenge for states and communities is creating sustainable funding for programs and activities. Although the Finance Project has developed funding tools and materials that serve as a base for building sustainability, there is a need for increased assistance. Multiyear funding will support activities that include developing tools and technical assistance resources to support afterschool programming at the state level; providing targeted technical assistance to individual statewide afterschool networks and network leaders; and strengthening the field of afterschool by convening stakeholders and disseminating knowledge and best practices.The Finance Project is part of the Afterschool Technical Assistance Collaborative, a consortium of national organizations working to further statewide afterschool networks.
