School Choice Parent Engagement Grant

At its discretion and in accordance with the policies adopted by its board of directors, the National School Choice Awareness Foundation (NSCAF) provides funds to nonprofit organizations to advance shared charitable priorities (“grants”). Grants from NSCAF are limited to organizations recognized as 501(c)(3) public charities or as governmental units. NSCAF’s sister organization, the National School Choice Resource Center (NSCRC), is an independent public charity that collaborates with NSCAF on the deployment of charitable programs. NSCRC operates a separate grantmaking program in accordance with the policies adopted by its board of directors. NSCRC provides funds to exempt organizations and other entities to advance shared charitable priorities ("grants"). For the purposes of this uniform grant application, NSCAF and NSCRC are referred to as the "Foundations." Organizations that have or are applying for grants are referred to as “Applicants.”
