2026 Community Collaboration Challenge – Opens Dec 2

Posted by Partnership for Student Success on November 25, 2025

The Partnership for Student Success, with generous support from the Leon Lowenstein Foundation, will begin accepting applications for the 2026 Community Collaboration Challenge starting on December 2, 2025!

The Challenge provides $5,000-$10,000 awards to communities and is designed to catalyze collaboration that expands evidence-based student supports at the local or state level in the form of high-impact tutoring, mentoring, student success coaching, postsecondary transition coaching, and/or wraparound/integrated student supports. Schools, districts, nonprofits, higher education institutions, intermediaries, and state / local government agencies are eligible to apply and use these funds to engage their communities in efforts to expand evidence-based and people-powered supports for K-12 children and youth.

The application will open mid day on Tuesday, December 2 and will remain open until Friday, January 16 at 5:00pm ET.
