Our first investment in Clayton County aims to support strengthening family and community engagement for K-12 public education. The grant fund will allocate $100,000 towards family and community engagement programming that empowers families with tools and knowledge to support their child’s learning and education experience. The grant is open to grassroots organizations, public schools serving Clayton County students, and the Clayton County School district.
Partnering with families and the community is essential to driving student outcomes and providing equitable education. We believe family and community engagement is one factor that will help advance our mission of every child in every community receiving a great K-12 public education.
A one-year grant of $25,000 will be awarded to four entities to support programming from July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025. Funding will specifically target two areas and grant proposals must align to at least one focus area.
Education Innovation
Initiatives that increase math and literacy access for students and families in a way that is more intensive, different than the norm, evidence-based, and tailored to the unique needs of the community.
Community Empowerment and Advocacy
Initiatives that empower caregivers to hold leaders accountable and be more involved in their student’s education, either through increasing civic knowledge and engagement or exercising choice in where their student attends school.
