2025 Community Collaboration Challenge
The National Partnership for Student Success (NPSS) Support Hub at Johns Hopkins University is launching the 2025 Community Collaboration Challenge, with support from the Leon Lowenstein Foundation. This initiative seeks to connect schools and districts with local organizations that provide key student supports, such as tutors, mentors, and post-secondary coaches. Community-based organizations can apply to scale or pilot these evidence-based supports, with bonus points for addressing chronic absenteeism or engaging high school students in NPSS-aligned roles. Awards range from $5,000-$10,000, and selected organizations will participate in virtual sessions for collaboration, with all deliverables due by June 30, 2025. Visit the initiative website to learn more about eligibility and to find upcoming virtual info sessions, check out the scoring rubric to learn how applications will be evaluated, and submit your funding applications online by November 15, 2024 at 5:00 PM.
