GRANT CYCLE OPENS – EARLY ACHIEVERS OUTREACH PARTNERSHIP
The Early Achievers Outreach Partnership (EAOP) initiative, funded by a Race to the Top – Early Learning Challenge grant awarded to the Department of Early Learning (DEL) by the U.S. Department of Education, is designed to:
All public libraries in Washington State organized under RCW 27.12 may apply. Applications may be submitted from a public library or a public library system. WSL reserves the right to limit the number and amount of awards to a public library/public library system in order to ensure that funds are distributed in early learning regions where there are local efforts to increase Early Achievers participation. Up to 50 library mini-grants of no less than $500 and no more than $1,000 per qualifying outlet will be awarded in collaboration with the Early Learning Public Library Partnership (ELPLP). Overall funding to support this grant cycle is $25,000.
The deadline to apply is Friday, March 29, 2013. More details may be found at www.sos.wa.gov/quicklinks/grants. Information about Early Achievers may be found at www.sos.wa.gov/quicklinks/EarlyAchievers. Questions?
