MACAE Adult Literacy Opportunity Fund Request for Proposals (RFP)
To: Adult Education Information subscribers
The Michigan Adult, Community and Alternative Education (MACAE) Association is proud to announce a new grant opportunity in the form of the Michigan Adult Literacy Opportunity Fund. This funding stream creates a foundational funding opportunity for nonprofit 501(c)(3) literacy providers in Michigan serving the least literate individuals in the state. The significant nature of this grant approved in the state’s Fiscal Year 2024 budget will ensure learners from historically underrepresented or marginalized populations, students of color and/or low-income learners are prioritized to meet their education and life goals.
Additionally, this grant is framed to incentivize assisting learners in a literacy setting to reach intermediate goals on their way to completing larger life goals of English language proficiency, transition to or improvement of employment, and/or transition to postsecondary opportunities.
Interested providers should apply for this grant at https://bit.ly/48IzcLa. Applications are due by 5 p.m. Friday, April 12, 2024.
The Adult Literacy Opportunity Fund folder contains a copy of the grant application, the required budget template and the Allowable Cost Policy. Please keep in mind you must download the budget template to edit it before uploading it in the RFP document.
MACAE will offer a Grant Request for Proposals Information Session on April 3, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. Join the session at https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82542296311. Grantees will be announced May 6, 2024.
