THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Social and Emotional Learning, SEL, Youth Development, Youth Mental Health
Deadline: Apr. 9, 2021
“NoVo Foundation is committed to supporting the spread of social and emotional learning (SEL) practices in schools and districts nationwide. We know practitioners have some of the most inspiring, effective and innovative ideas in the field. NoVo Foundation, in partnership with Education First and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, aims to seed projects that foster social and emotional competencies in students in grades PK-12. Whether you have an idea for a new initiative or want to expand or continue an existing project, we want to hear from you.
For the 2021-22 school year, we are inviting applications for the SEL in Action Awards from two applicant pools:
- School-based educators (including teachers, counselors, administrators and other school staff) seeking to implement SEL initiatives in classrooms or schools in the 2020-2021 school year, and
- District-level applicants seeking to implement SEL initiatives district-wide and/or across multiple schools within one district (including a charter network).
We seek applications which build and foster much greater compassion, to honor the assets and lived experiences of students, to build skills in people and groups to embrace and understand differences, and to work through challenges to promote healing from all forms of trauma and harm. We can—and must—create space for educators and students to imagine, build and lead us toward a better future built on racial and gender equity, social justice and restorative practices.”
