Children Can Shape the Future Grant

This grant opportunity is specifically aimed at supporting direct-service educators in Philadelphia or Camden who are looking to re-engage in the classroom in a post-COVID world. The funding limit for this opportunity is $10,000, and the application process involves three simple steps. First, applicants need to submit a 250-word entry without any links or attachments, explaining how the funding can support their innovative educational work. There are no restrictions on when applicants can apply, and honesty about their needs and costs is encouraged. After submitting an application, applicants will receive a confirmation email within 48 hours. If the organization is interested in their work, they will arrange a phone call to discuss it further. If not, they will provide clear feedback on why the work does not align with their funding priorities. Finally, applications will be presented to the Board of Directors on a rolling basis to ensure that applicants do not have to wait more than 60 days from the time they first applied. If approved, grant checks will be issued within two weeks.
