Expanded Learning Opportunities ... Expanded Opportunities for Public Media
Grant Center Webinar
Thursday, September 29, 2011
2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. EDT
With federal funding for educational programs growing increasingly scarce, it can seem daunting to identify potential funding streams to tap into. The Grant Center wants to help stations find new ways to access federal dollars -- possibly in programs you haven't considered before. One such area is in expanded learning opportunities, the "umbrella" concept that includes after-school, summer learning, extended day and other initiatives that keep kids learning longer. Some stations have been doing this work in formal partnerships with schools or community providers for some time. Others are kicking off new projects as part of the new round of Ready To Learn funding. Public media can play a critical role in this work.
