Program: Public Education Grants
For Year: 2011
Arkansas Public Policy Panel
http://arpanel.org
Size: $30,000
2011
Public Education Grants
Arkansas Public Policy Panel is working on the local and state levels to build power and identify an agenda rooted in grassroots communities’ interests and priorities. At the state level, they have created a coalition that works to drive an equity agenda. Increasingly they are looking to ground the state policy work in the experiences of local communities and have put emphasis on developing the capacity of local sites to impact policy and practice in their communities and also participate in the state policy work. A one-year $30,000 grant will enable APPP to pursue local organizing in rural predominantly African American communities in Arkansas while also continuing to build a state wide coalition for educational equity.

Hazen’s one year grant of $30,000 in 2011 will support CBG’s youth- and parent-led education organizing work to improve special education, reduce student drop-outs within the Delta and increase funding and community involvement in Greenville public schools.
Community Asset Re-defining Education (CADRE)
Los Angeles, California
Size: $30,000

Public Education Grants
CADRE, a multi-racial parent led organization in South Los Angeles, was founded in 2001. Led by African American and Latino parents and caregivers whose children attend neighborhood schools in the Los Angeles United School District (LAUSD), CADRE merges a community organizing strategy with a human rights framework to empower families to advocate effectively for their children over a range of issues. Under the previous strategic plan, CADRE was a core education grantee in Los Angeles. CADRE is in the process of completing a five-year strategic plan. Hazen’s $30,000 renewal grants in 2011 will enable it to continue to implement its organizing agenda and to pilot new components called for in the new strategic plan.
