Funding resource: Specific State Opportunities to Provide Academic Help to Children In Need

"Under President George W. Bush's No Child Left Behind Act, faith-based and community organizations are eligible to receive federal funds to provide extra academic help to students in certain schools that need improvement. These supplemental educational services are additional academic instruction designed to increase the academic achievement of students in low-performing schools. Services must be provided outside of the regular school day and may include academic assistance such as tutoring, remediation, and other educational interventions.

Providers of supplemental services may include non-profit entities, for-profit entities, local educational agencies, public schools, public charter schools, private schools, public or private institutions of higher education, and faith-based organizations. Organizations must apply to state departments of education to become an approved provider. The funding for this program is not a grant, but organizations receive a fee-for-service through a contract with local school districts."
