 21st Century Community Learning Center Grants (2012)

 

Welcome to the OFFICE OF GRANTS DEVELOPMENT AND COMPLIANCE, responsible for researching, developing, and obtaining grants in support of a variety of initiatives to support the mission of the School District of Philadelphia.

We serve as the central coordinating office for all major grant-seeking activities in the District involving public (government) funding sources. We work with schools, regions and central office to develop grant proposals—from the earliest brainstorming sessions, to budgeting and proposal drafting, to the final submission of complete proposals. Once proposals are funded, we provide ongoing support and technical assistance to program offices responsible for implementation. In a typical year, we bring in $60 - $90 million dollars in supplemental funding through competitive grant awards, as well as hundreds of millions of dollars in entitlement grants.

We are pleased to share with you our goals and accomplishments and encourage you to visit the different pages below to obtain valuable grant resources.
