Uncertain Times: Funding Insecurity
Puts Afterschool Programs at Risk, a recent survey
of afterschool programs, finds that afterschool programs
are serving a high need population, serving more children
than expected, and struggling to maintain their funding.
Nearly all respondents say that more children in their
communities could benefit from afterschool programs,
if they were available. Fewer than half of afterschool
programs say their funding is fully secure for the
next two years and just one in five has secure funding
for three to five years.
