Early Learning Access for All Grant Application

THE GRANT MODEL

Access for All grants offset the cost of bringing an early learning artist to your school, and range from 50-80% of the total program cost. The grant is applied as a subsidy, and the school is responsible for the remaining cost of the program (if the school is able). Schools may also choose to apply Arts Every Day and/or ESSER funds to cover their portion of the cost.

FUNDING PURPOSE

Early Learning Access for All grants seek to ensure that cost is not the prohibitive factor in a school's ability to host an Early Learning artist in their building or virtual classroom.

ELIGIBILITY

All Baltimore City Public Schools, July Centers, and Childcare Centers that service children ages 0-6 are eligible for Early Learning Access for All grants. Consideration will be given to whether a school has applied before and whether the school has received an award before.

APPLICATION DEADLINES

We are accepting applications on a rolling basis. All applications between the 1st and the 31st of each month will receive responses by the 15th of the following month.
