W.K. Kellogg Foundation Announces New Family Engagement Initiative

The W.K. Kellogg Foundation<http://www.wkkf.org/> has announced a $5 million investment to identify and cultivate innovations in the growing field of family engagement that support children's educational success from birth to 8 years old. Through the initiative, the foundation seeks to support and expand on-the-ground family engagement efforts that include program design and implementation, service delivery, and/or policy development and implementation.

WKKF is accepting pre-proposals from organizations that have developed effective family engagement models that address obstacles faced by low-income families and that wish to receive funding of up to $500,000 for one to three years. Priority will be given to proposals that outline effective teaching strategies, aim to align early childhood systems in their communities, and focus on building family economic security as well as strong family engagement in education.

For the purposes of this Request for Proposals, WKKF defines family engagement as a shared responsibility of families, schools, and communities for student learning and achievement.

Public entities or nonprofit organizations that are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and can demonstrate the fiscal capacity to manage the funds are eligible to apply.

Pre-applications must be received no later than September 23, 2013. If selected, applicants will be invited to provide a full proposal in October 2013, and will receive guidelines upon selection. Selected grantees will be notified of their awards in December 2013.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the WKKF Web site.

You can find additional information on the Foundation for Rural Service at http://www.frs.org/rural-community-outreach/grant-program

As part of its ongoing commitment to rural communities across the country, the Foundation for Rural Service provides annual grants for communities served by NTCA members. The goal of this program is to support local efforts to build and sustain a high quality of life in rural America. Grants will be concentrated in four major areas:
*         Business Development
*         Community Development
*         Education
*         Telecommunications

Grants can range from $250 to $5000 that go back in to rural communities, every year.

FRS grants will allow rural communities to take that first step towards a project or plan that can help better the lives of those around them - whether it is smart boards in schools, a Main Street beautification project, better agricultural equipment for farms, start-up money for young entrepreneurs, or basic computer classes. These funds help rural Americans invest in their communities in meaningful ways.

The Foundation will give priority to proposals that foster collaboration among different community agencies, and local government, reflect a comprehensive approach to community development, promote community participation and engagement, and make rural communities a better place to live and work.
