Community Education & Afterschool survey:

To all Oregon community education program directors:

Would you like to know
- how community education programs around the State are funded?
- if budgets are increasing or decreasing?
- what program elements were most profitable in 2007?
- if programs like yours on the rise or decline?

We would too. That's why we're hosting a State of the Profession Survey. We're sending this invitation to everyone in Oregon connected to a community education program so we can all learn about what is working. Please take 10 minutes and go to:

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=Dz2NKwcWWyG_2bb7ADvPEiug_3d_3d

Whether you have a community college adult learning program or a K-12 afterschool program or any of the other community education approaches, please take a few minutes to share how you did last year.

In return, everyone who participates will receive a copy of the survey report. By they way, that's the only reason we're asking for your contact information - so we know how to send the report to you.

We think the results will be very interesting and highly useful. We sincerely hope you do to!

If you have any questions, please contactSteve Lamb at 503-485-4809 or slamb@osba.org. Thank you for your kind help with this.

Share Our Strength Seeks Grant Applications for Great American Bake Sale

Deadline: May 30, 2008

Share Our Strength ( http://www.strength.org/ ) is seeking grant proposals for the Great American Bake Sale 2008.

The Great American Bake Sale grants program will support efforts to increase participation among low-income children in summer and afterschool meal programs. Share Our Strength is specifically interested in increasing participation in meal programs that utilize USDA reimbursement through the Summer Food Service Program, National School Lunch Program, or Child and Adult Care Food Program. Nonprofit organizations that work to increase the number of children that receive nutritious afterschool and summer meals may be eligible to apply for funds raised through the Great American Bake Sale.

Two types of grants will be offered:

Grants for Program Sponsors: Grants will be awarded to organizations that directly sponsor USDA-reimbursed afterschool and/or summer meal programs for children. Grants will specifically support efforts to increase participation in the organization's USDA summer and afterschool meal programs. Grant awards will range from $1,000 to $10,000 each.

Grants for Advocacy: Grants will be awarded to organizations that work to increase participation in USDA-reimbursed after- school and summer meal programs through outreach and advocacy.
Organizations engage in advocacy when they work with schools, community organizations, local businesses, and with a range of government officials to increase participation in summer and afterschool meal programs. Grant awards will range from $1,000 to $10,000 each.

Grants will only be provided to nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations, schools with a valid NCES code, or local government entities that work to ensure children have access to afterschool and summer meal programs.

Visit the Great American Bake Sale Web site for complete program guidelines.
