As many students returned to in-person learning, public-school districts quickly realized the social and emotional needs of our young people outweighed the resources schools offered. This has resulted in an influx of school-based incidents and the need for restorative practices. With this in mind, the Nellie Mae Education Foundation offers this Rapid Response Request for Proposals which seeks to support projects that center restorative justice by providing opportunities to create safe spaces for young people to acknowledge and repair harm, especially collaborative spaces between youth and adults to develop and implement violence prevention practices, strategies, and policies.
The Foundation will support short-term projects that focus on restorative justice activities for school-aged youth with grants of up to $25,000. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. The deadline for proposals is Wednesday, November 16, 2022 at 5:00 P.M. EDT, or until the limited pool of resources is exhausted. To learn more about this opportunity and to start your application, read the RFP linked below or visit our website's grants opportunities page.
