Grants and Program Development

 

Our Mission

The Office of Grants and Program Development has a simple goal: To help the City School District of Albany give its students the very best education possible.


The office seeks funding to support programs that address the educational, emotional and social needs of students through both competitive application processes and government entitlements. For districts like Albany that face increasingly tough budgets, grant funding has become an important means to support programming. Grants are not intended to fund the general education of students, but rather allow the district to start new, or expand, innovative programs that benefit students and families without burdening taxpayers.

 

During the 2010-11 school year, the office secured and monitored more than 50 grants worth more than $25 million, with approximately $20 million in entitlement or formula funds and more than $5.7 million in competitive funding. A number of these grants continued into 2011-12, while others sunset. The district’s allocations for entitlement monies via multiple grants will be announced periodically, but as of August the office already had secured approximately $8 million in competitive grant monies and anticipates applying for multiple new grants throughout the year.

 

New and continuing competitive grants include:
