Data for Decision-making
Having an understanding of the existing afterschool landscape is critical for afterschool leaders seeking to influence the allocation of resources or make other policy decisions about afterschool in their state or community. The Finance Project offers the following resources that help answer questions, such as:
- What is currently being spent on afterschool in our state or locality?
- How many programs/slots do we have and how many do we need?
- How much does a quality afterschool program cost?
