DEED will administer the Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) to support Minnesota’s COVID-19 response efforts. The CDBG CARES Act funding (CDBG-CV) is being directed towards projects that assist communities, particularly low-to-moderate income communities, in preventing, preparing for, and responding to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The State of Minnesota is seeking applications for activities listed in the Eligibility category.

NewSchools Venture Fund accepting applications for Racial Equity Grants
Deadline: June 4, 2021
The NewSchools Venture Fund believes that the freedom to thrive is every person's fundamental right, and that access to a great education, regardless of race or ethnicity, is essential to that freedom. Students and families are navigating the impacts of COVID-19 and a broader racial reckoning in our society. Schools, community-based organizations, and trusted leaders are working hard to meet student needs, and there are brilliant solutions borne from the lived experiences of people of color. NewSchools' first Racial Equity funding opportunity will provide $1.5 million in "dream capital" to innovators of color with bold ideas to advance racial equity in education. Given the prevalence of anti-Black racism in society, and its impact on outcomes for Black students, the organizations plans to allocate at least 50 percent of the funds to Black leaders. The decision-makers for this funding opportunity will be parents, students, and education innovators of color.
