OUR GRANT OPPORTUNITIES: Youth Today’s grant listings are carefully curated for our subscribers working in youth-related industries. Subscribers will find local, state, regional and national grant opportunities.
THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Education, Racism, Black Lives Matter, Educator Support, Racial Justice
Deadline: Oct. 22, 2020
“In response to the Black Lives Matter movement, the Nellie Mae Education Foundation (NMEF) is supporting educators (defined as anyone within the school/district who works directly with youth and/or teachers within that community, in support of their education) who have been at the forefront of facilitating necessary and courageous conversations and practices centered on eradicating anti-Blackness in their virtual classrooms, schools, and communities across New England. The Foundation is deeply interested in projects that are rooted in challenging anti-Blackness and centering the voices, perspectives, and experiences of Black people.
NMEF will provide financial support to educator or educator-serving organizations for activities including, but not limited to: organizing; holding classroom, school, educator, and/or community conversations; culturally responsive trainings for schools or districts; culturally sensitive therapy; community healing or other activities intended to center Black youth and families; attending trainings or conferences. Given the ongoing context of the COVID-19 pandemic, we realize that many of the activities described above are likely to take place virtually. Educators who propose to facilitate virtual activities are welcome to apply.”
NOTE: These grants are geographically restricted to the New England region (MA, RI, NH, VT, ME or CT).
