Level Up SD 2023 Summer Grant Program
In Partnership with San Diego Unified School District
Approximately $10 million is available to support Level Up SD Summer 2023 programming through this grant opportunity.
Funding is intended to support summer learning programs for Universal Transitional Kindergarten (UTK) to eighth-grade students but will prioritize proposals that serve UTK to sixth grade.
San Diego Unified will also offer high school programming under Level Up SD Summer 2023 through a separate process. Organizations interested in partnering with San Diego Unified to host programs for grades 9-12 are urged to contact Sara Guinn at sguinn@sandi.net for more information.
Grant amounts may range from $50,000 to $500,000 and fund an array of program types that offer not only enrichment activities, but also a strong academic component.
The LOI submission deadline has passed.
In mid-January, we will review LOIs and select organizations to move to the second step in the process.
For questions or technical issues with the application, please contact summerlearning@sdfoundation.org.
