NEA’s Urban Grants Program
Each year, NEA awards 25 Urban Grants in the amount of $5,000 each to local affiliates to help in the development of education reform leadership programs for preK–12/graduate school faculty and education support professionals. NEA Constituent Relations administers the grants and looks for proposals that contribute to restoring public confidence in public education by reflecting some aspect of Strategic Priorities.
NEA local affiliates of 500 members or more who are listed with the NEA membership office, or the largest local NEA affiliate of any state regardless of membership number, are eligible to apply.
Applicants must submit a proposal postmarked no later than September 30, 2007, to NEA Constituent Relations/NCUEA Office, 1201 16th St., N.W., Washington, DC 20036. The Constituent Relations staff will correspond with applicants, as well as their respective state Association and regional offices, notifying them of receipt of the proposal.
