Profiles of Successful Financing Strategies
Sustainability is a critical issue for afterschool programs.  Time-limited grants, narrow categorical funding streams, and difficult economic conditions leave program leaders in a continual struggle to find a stable base of resources to continue their program over time.  The profiles listed below look analytically at how programs have effectively implemented a range of sustainability strategies, including accessing a range of funding sources, using existing resources more effectively and developing community partnerships.  While the success of various strategies depends heavily on characteristics of the local community, these profiles cull out the elements of success that can be transferred and applied in other sites and locations.  Click here to view profiles that highlight 21st Century Community Learning Centers grantees’ successful efforts to sustain out-of-school time programming.
