THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Education, Community, Disadvantaged Students, Minority Students, Chicago
Deadline: June 8, 2020 (LOI)
“We invest in strategies that promote equitable access to high-quality education so that young people are prepared to succeed in school, career, and life. Our priority is on young people of color from low-income backgrounds, Black and Latino males in particular.
We support initiatives that:
- Develop and equip diverse educators to provide effective, high-quality instruction to racially and economically diverse students.
- Promote positive, safe, and supportive schools where social-emotional learning, restorative practice, and trauma-informed approaches enable students and staff to achieve academic success and thrive.
- Provide instruction and experiential learning opportunities for students facing wide achievement gaps to help them reach important academic milestones across key transition points: elementary to middle school, middle school to high school, and high school to postsecondary education or training.
Nonprofit organizations must follow one of these approaches: Networks, Place-Based, or Systems-Building. (See link below for more information).
Funder: The Robert R. McCormick Foundation
Eligibility: “Organizations with 501(c)3 federal tax-exempt status, or which use a fiscal sponsor for that purpose… Must serve residents of the Greater Chicago metropolitan region with a priority on Chicago’s south and west sides.”
