Afterschool Webinars

Every second Friday at noon ET, our own Senior VP of Policy, Erik Peterson, will recap the latest policy developments, what we know (or don’t know!) about how they may impact afterschool and summer programs, and what may be coming up next. Submit your questions in advance so we know what's top of mind for you.

The nonprofit revenue landscape has been deeply disrupted by federal retrenchment, and nonprofit organizations in just about every field of endeavor are trying to find their way to a stronger financial future. In this webinar, we will introduce Nonprofit GPS, a new initiative to help organizations make well-informed decisions and navigate business model risks in these disruptive times. We’ll also dig into StrongNonprofits, a library of resources to strengthen your nonprofit financial management, created by The Wallace Foundation in partnership with BDO. Additionally, we'll look ahead to the federal funding landscape in 2026 and learn about the federal funding opportunities that are currently supporting afterschool and summer learning programs.

As fiscal year 2025 closes and 2026 begins, STEM funding timelines and priorities are shifting. Our experts help you wrap up current commitments strategically, navigate critical year-end requirements, and position your organization to capitalize on emerging funding opportunities in the year ahead.

Jodi Grant, Executive Director of the Afterschool Alliance, will discuss a promising new funding opportunity for afterschool, summer, and other out-of-school time programs contained in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA, H.R.1).

The New York Life Foundation will make 40 grants to out-of-school time programs serving youth through their Aim High local grant program. Join us for this webinar to learn more about the funding opportunity, eligibility requirements, and expectations.
