Finding Funding
Understanding key financing issues, such as the cost of programs and trends in available funding sources, is essential to the success of initiatives that seek to expand positive opportunities for youth outside the school day.

The Finance Project offers tools that are designed to help you answer questions like:

  • "How can my program access Title 1, CCDF or another specific funding source?"
  • "How can our program find funding for facilities, transportation or another need?"
