DC: Learn 24 Grants

Various grants supporting afterschool and summer learning. The Government of the District of Columbia (the District) is committed to supporting students in preparing for a bright future. In service of that commitment, the District seeks to award and support the equitable distribution of grants to diverse organizations that provide children and youth with high-quality out-of-school time (OST) programming. To make that possible, the Office of Out of School Time Grants and Youth Outcomes (OST Office), located in the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Education (DME), works with an external grantmaking partner that will award and administer funds on behalf of the OST Office. The OST Office, with guidance from the Commission on Out of School Time Grants and Youth Outcomes (OST Commission), is responsible for deciding the purpose and priorities of each grant competition.

Eligibility: Eligibilty for each grant varies. Please see website for more details.

My Afterschool DC

My Afterschool DC would lay the foundation for our long-term vision that every elementary school student and family has a free afterschool option at their school as well as citywide programs to choose from. The system will be a one-stop shop for OST programs offered by a range of agencies, including the Office of Out of School Time Grants and Youth Outcomes (OST Office), the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), and schools, and will thereby increase ease of access for families.

Eligibility: Priority for funding is to go towards priority elementary schools
