Oregon's Early Learning Council is seeking applications for Early Learning Kindergarten Readiness Partnership and Innovation grants.  The goals of this program are to increase the connection between early learning and K-12 education by investing in innovative and promising models for early learning/K-12 integration across the state;  to build a body of evidence that Oregon can use to create stronger alignment between its early learning and K-12 education systems; and to promote community and school partnerships that result in measurable increases in children's readiness for kindergarten.

Any K-12 school district, Education Service District, nonprofit organization, post-secondary institution, Early Learning Hub, or collaboration thereof may apply for funds.
