The CCSPP Grant Cohort Series

Earlier this month, the California Department of Education released the Request for Applications (RFA) for the next round of California Community School Partnership Program (CCSPP) Implementation Grant Funding. The Community Schools Learning Exchange (CSLX) is thrilled to once again partner with Collective Agency to present the CCSPP Grant Cohort Series. – a 100% virtual workshop aimed at helping school and district leads submit a well-designed Implementation Grant proposal for the CCSPP’s 2025-30 cohort.

By joining, participants will get:

• An overview of and support for putting together a strong CCSPP Implementation Grant application, including resources that map key activities to a timeline, support in identifying and organizing artifacts, and a punch list to ensure that you complete all grant application components on time and to specifications;
  

• Time to ask questions of and learn from community school practitioners and leaders who have successfully written several CCSPP grant applications;
  

• Strategies for using the grant application process as a way to set a solid foundation for continued community school development, including identifying your district-wide strategy and using the national community school framework to move towards alignment and coherence across initiatives and efforts; and,
  

• Strategies for engaging a broad group of stakeholders in developing the CCSPP Implementation Grant application – and your community school development efforts.
