The Educating All Learners Alliance (EALA) is excited to launch their 2023 New Champions Fund opportunity! The purpose of this sub-grant is to elevate and grow the profile of not-yet-recognized leaders doing exceptional work who may struggle to be recognized in traditional national fundraising and communication efforts.
The EALA New Champions Fund will grant a $35,000 unrestricted sub-grant and year-long mentorship support. EALA will also provide two additional $5,000 sub-grants to runners-up as determined by the panel of New Champions judges.
With this sub-grant, EALA is looking to identify and fund a “New Champion” in education and someone who is:
-
a leader(s) of community-based organizations (CBOs), schools and districts, non-profits, or for-profit organizations that are under $2 million in annual revenue;
-
a leader(s) of color or allies of the equity in education movement;
-
actively working to support students with disabilities, including students who are also marginalized, come from underserved communities, or experience poverty.
