AVANCE Unlocking America's Potential Project (UAPP)

UAPP is AVANCE's grant to "promote positive parenting skills and behaviors, school readiness, parental school involvement, adult education, community economic development, and civic engagement for a simultaneous impact on both parents and children in order to break the cycle of poverty."

If it sounds ambitious, well I guess it is -- and the money is big, too. Awards of up to $50,000 are available; eligible entities include nonprofit organizations serving low-income, high-need Hispanic families.

Details here; the deadline was recently pushed back to January 31.

Here is some of the blah blah: AVANCE's Unlocking America’s Potential Project (UAPP) was created "to expand its evidence-based Parent-Child Education Program across the United States. As part of the project, AVANCE will re-grant funds over a three year time period to twelve qualified organizations serving low-income Hispanic families in order to adopt the AVANCE Parent-Child Education Program model. The UAPP re-grant allows for a one-time payment of $50,000 to selected organizations to help with initial setup costs. AVANCE will also provide intensive training to the staff selected to deliver the program. Additionally, technical assistance will be provided along with monitoring and evaluation visits.  Beyond providing financial assistance to implement the PCEP, UAPP is determined to contribute to the global learning community by facilitating peer networking and creative innovations, while also conducting longitudinal research."
