Funding
Financial Sustainability for Afterschool & Summer
OregonASK completed a two year sustainability project in 2013 with fourteen 21st CCLC programs across the state. During the two years, OregonASK developed an afterschool model for creating sustainability plans, worked through implementation, and discovered a few key barriers nearly all afterschool programs in Oregon face. For a look at the full OregonASK report, click here to read through our findings and recommendations for the future.
We have continued to work with a number of programs around the state as we guide them through the plan development and into implementation.

Potential funding Opportunities
The Oregon Funding Guide has several resources for afterschool in Oregon and beyond. Although the funding guide was assembled several years ago, many of the sources listed continue to fund afterschool and summer programs with specific focuses in Health & Wellness, STEAM, Literacy or Youth Development.
