The Blue Mountain Early Learning Hub invites organizations to apply for grant funding.
The Family Support Services, School Readiness and Healthy, Stable, and Attached Families grants focus on projects that serve at risk children age 0-6 and their families. Any agency or program that serves children ages 0-6 can apply for these grants. Priority will be given to those activities that serve or support more than one community.
Grant funds may be used for community-based services intended to:
· increase the strength and stability of families (including adoptive, foster, and extended families)
· increase parents’ confidence and competence in their parenting abilities
· afford children a safe, stable and supportive family environment
· strengthen parental relationships and promote healthy marriages
· enhance child development, including through mentoring.
· services must be provided in a culturally competent and gender-specific manner that reflects the population, needs and resources of the community
To apply for a grant, visit the Blue Mountain Early Learning Hub website. Under the Grants/Application Process section, there is information about eligibility and a Request for Assistance application. Information is available about how the grant funding may be used in your county. There is also a self-assessment quiz to ensure a project aligns well with the Blue Mountain Early Learning Hub focus and goals.
The grant deadline is Friday, Nov. 17, 2017. Final decisions will be made in January 2018.
For questions about the grants, please contact Kim Thul, Hub administrative assistant, at 541-966-3157 or email kim.thul@imesd.k12.or.us.
