Grant Making Initiative: The Silicon Valley Out-of-School-Time Collaborative 2010-2013
Vision:
As a collaborative of out-of-school-time nonprofits and funders
convening over three years, we are supporting a cohort of organizations
to develop and strengthen pathways -- beyond the K-12 school day --
for students from low-income families in Silicon Valley to improve
their likelihood of succeeding in school and attending college. The
collaborative will run from June 2010 to June 2013.
Goals of the Initiative:
- To build the capacity of each participant organization in achieving a significantly increased level of organizational impact.
- To create a learning community focused on excellence in after-school and summer academic programming.
- To advance the field of after-school and summer academic services, collectively aspiring to demonstrate and share models for effectiveness with others both inside and outside our regional area.
The Collaboratives' funders -- two local family foundations, Sand Hill Foundation and The Sobrato Family Foundation, a high-engagement venture philanthropy fund, SV2, and a major national family foundation, the David & Lucile Packard Foundation -- have each demonstrated a long-standing commitment to the field of education and the promise that PreK-12 education provides for future success and well-being in life. We recognize that low-income students in our region are not necessarily receiving all the supports they need to succeed in school during the regular academic day and that programs after school and during summer months are critical motivators and safety-nets for many. In Silicon Valley, a diverse array of nonprofits has evolved to fill this need. Our aim is to bring these organizations together to learn from one another, strengthen their individual enterprises and provide access to outside expertise that will help them realize significantly increased impact by the end of the three-year initiative.
Grant Award:
The nine selected organizations each received a grant of $45,000 per year for three years, contingent upon the achievement of mutually agreed upon outcomes.
No unsolicited applications to Sand Hill Foundation from other organizations
in the OST field will be accepted at this time.
