OUR GRANT OPPORTUNITIES: Youth Today’s grant listings are carefully curated for our subscribers working in youth-related industries. Subscribers will find local, regional, state and federal grant opportunities.
THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Reading, Literacy, Education, Child/Youth Development, Family
Deadline: Oct. 4, 2019
“The Oakland Reads campaign strives to dramatically increase third grade reading achievement, a critical foundation for future learning and success in school. Weaving together the strength of Oakland families, schools, and community partners, we are making possible a future where every child in our city can learn and love to read. Hosting a Family Reading Celebration, funded by an Oakland Reads grant, is a great way for your organization to get involved in the campaign and share the fun and importance of reading with your families… Grants will be awarded to organizations serving predominately low-income children and families in Oakland, California. Grants may be used for a single, one-time event (e.g. a family reading night) or a series of recurring family literacy activities (e.g. book clubs or read-ins).
All grant proposals must demonstrate clear and compelling ideas for how the Family Reading Celebration will:
- Engage children ages 0-8 and their families.
- Feature a read aloud and/or parent workshop to model effective strategies for supporting reading and learning.
- Give at least one book to every child in attendance to add to their home collections.”
Funder: Oakland Reads – Oakland Literacy Coalition
