Is it possible for small nonprofits to compete for LSA School- and Community-Based funding?
Yes, if you are a grantmaking entity that makes grants in two or more states. It is not necessary for grantmaking entities to be large organizations. The purpose of a grantmaking entity is to reach more than one state through our limited LSA resources. In addition, there may be opportunities to become a subgrantee of a larger regional organization. You should contact your State Commission on National and Community Service, Corporation for National and Community Service State Office, state education agency, or local school district since they partner with community-based organizations.
