Public Funding Opportunities for the OST Field: Out-of-School Time Funder Meetup
February 3, 2026, 2:00-3:30 pm ET
Public Funding Opportunities for the OST Field
Join the EdFunders OST Impact Group’s Funder Meetup on Tuesday, February 3rd from 2-3:30pm as we dive into federal, state, and local funding opportunities for the field. We’ll hear updates on the Federal Tax Credit Scholarship program and Fund IRL Coalition and how these two opportunities could potentially provide funding for afterschool and summer programs. We’ll also talk about state and local public funding opportunities, recent wins, and ways for funders to support public strategic financing for the sector.
Speakers:
- Elizabeth Gaines, CEO, Children’s Funding Project
- Jodi Grant, Executive Director, Afterschool Alliance
These meetings are to funders who are members of Grantmakers for Education. Register here for the monthly series.
