Empire State After-School Program Funding Opportunity

The New York State Office of Children and Family Services, in consultation with the New York State Education Department, has released a request for proposal from eligible school districts either on their own, or in collaboration with a not-for-profit organization(s), for the development or expansion of quality after-school programs for the Empire State After-School Program (ESAP). The ESAP seeks proposals that will offer a broad range of educational, recreational, cultural, and age-appropriate activities in a safe environment. The proposal must integrate what happens in the school day with less formal learning experiences, and must encourage the active participation of children, youth, and families in the design and delivery of program activities. The submission deadline is July 14, 2017 at 3:00 pm EST. Download the grant procurement document for full details on program objectives, proposal requirements, and important deadlines.
