AVANCE Invites Re-Grant Applications to Implement Parent-Child Education Program
Deadline: October 15, 2012

AVANCE, a nonprofit organization that provides parenting and early childhood education programs along with other family support services, is accepting proposals from nonprofits to enter into a re-granting agreement to implement AVANCE’s nine-month parent-child education program.

With a $12.6 million grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, AVANCE created the Unlocking America’s Potential Project in 2010 to expand the evidence-based Parent-Child Education Program across the country. AVANCE is re-granting funds over a three-year period (2011-13) to twelve qualified organizations serving low-income Hispanic families.

The UAPP re-grant program allows for a one-time payment of $50,000 to selected organizations to help with initial year setup costs. Selected partners must commit to continuing the AVANCE program as a licensee for two years. Beyond the first year, the cost to continue the program will be approximately $20,000 per year. AVANCE will provide intensive training for staff selected to deliver the program, as well as technical assistance and monitoring and evaluation visits.

Applicants must be nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations with the capacity to serve a minimum of twenty-five families.

This is the third and final UAPP Request for Proposals. Four organizations will be selected in this funding round.
