About academic enrichment grants

Academic enrichment grants fund out-of-school-time programs such as afterschool, before-school, and summer learning that combine academic support with arts, STEM, and other enrichment activities. The primary federal source is the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program, the only federal funding stream dedicated exclusively to afterschool, which is awarded to states and then sub-granted locally. Private foundations and corporate funders also support enrichment for students in high-need communities.

A long list is the starting point, not the shortlist. Our grant prospecting guide shows how to narrow academic success & enrichment grants down to the funders most likely to say yes, using their giving records.

What academic enrichment grants are available?

Academic enrichment grants fund afterschool and summer programs offering tutoring, homework help, STEM, arts, music, and other activities that complement the school day. The federal 21st Century Community Learning Centers program is the leading source, supporting a broad array of enrichment services for students in high-poverty, low-performing schools. State education agencies, foundations, and corporate giving programs also fund enrichment, often prioritizing underserved students.

Which organizations fund academic enrichment programs?

Federal funding for enrichment comes primarily through the 21st CCLC program, with the U.S. Department of Education awarding funds to state education agencies that run competitive local subgrant competitions. Grantees include schools, community-based and faith-based organizations, charter schools, and parks and recreation departments. Private foundations and corporate funders focused on STEM, the arts, and youth development supplement these public dollars.

How do schools and nonprofits apply for enrichment grants?

For the largest federal source, organizations typically apply through their state education agency's 21st CCLC competition rather than directly to the federal government, so monitoring your state's funding cycle is essential. Many states require partnerships between schools and community organizations, and strong applications document academic and enrichment activities serving high-need students.
