Tailored Support through Two Grant Options
Program Alignment Fund
This option is currently for WeVision EarlyEd Solutions Lab sites that are seeking to align their non-lab site(s) with the WeVision EarlyEd initiative. Applicants will craft a budget explaining how grant funds will be used to align their non-lab site(s) to one or more WeVision EarlyEd Solutions Lab deliverables. Each awarded grant will be up to $100k.
Program Alignment and Expansion Fund
This option is currently for WeVision EarlyEd Solutions Lab sites that have recently expanded or plan to start an expansion to an additional site. This funding can be used to offset capital costs of expansion or to ensure that the additional location can meet one or more of the WeVision EarlyEd Solutions Lab deliverables upon completion. Applicants will be asked to submit a budget that outlines use of funds and enrollment data; applicants will need to share details about the planned or current expansion. After applying, the selected WeVision EarlyEd Solutions Lab sites will need to complete a workplan (see below) to access grants funding up to $300k.
