Learn All the Time Network 2025-2026 Momentum Mini-Grant Application
Purpose
To provide funding that enhances the quality of out-of-school-time (OST) programs in alignment with the Learn All the Time Quality Practices (physically safe environment; opportunities for safe and supportive relationships; positive and inclusive environments; and opportunities for youth engagement through voice, choice, reflection, and leadership). For more information on the Quality Practices, go to: bit.ly/LATTQualityPractices
Example projects include:
Curriculum redesign or enhancements
Recruitment/retention efforts to build and sustain a diverse and effective workforce
Specific data and evaluation efforts that lead to new insights and program improvements
Purchase and implementation of quality assessment tools and/or training on those tools (e.g., YPQ, APAS)
Purchase and implementation of program curricula or equipment designed to enhance instructional quality
Engaging staff, youth, families, school, and/or the greater community in continuous improvement activities
Building stronger community partnerships
Projects may be collaborative and benefit more than one organization, but a lead organization must be listed in the application.
Minimum and Maximum Awards:
Programs may apply for any amount up to $5000. We are awarding up to 5 LATT Network Mini-grants this year, thanks to the generous support of ARF donors and the Webber Family Foundation.
Grant Period:
Funds are to be used to support 2025-26 programming and/or organizational-related needs that will impact program quality. All funds must be expended by August 31, 2026.
Eligibility:
Only current Learn All the Time Network partners who are up to date on their membership are eligible to apply. Any type of entity is eligible to apply (e.g., nonprofit, for-profit, governmental). Priority will be given to those partners who did not receive grant funding during the last funding cycle.
As an option, grant partners may also receive technical assistance from Learn All the Time Network staff (e.g., consultation call, connections to resources, review of materials, etc.). We also hope, if selected, you'll consider serving on the Mini-Grant Selection Committee the following year.
