Join us for the 2025 CT State Department of Education’s After School Grant Bidder’s Conference.

Every two years, the Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) has a competition for after school funding. The competition is open to school districts, towns/municipalities, and community-based organizations to apply. State funding provides approximately $5.8 million dollars that is awarded to accepted applicants, with a maximum grant size of $200,000 per year for two years.

Specific requirements for the funding, such as required documentation, budget plans, and data collection will be covered during the bidder’s conference.

• RFP will be released after bidder’s conference.

A zoom link will be emailed the day before the event to all participants. For more information or questions, please contact Michelle Doucette Cunningham or Dr. Ken Anthony.
