This resource, developed in Spring 2025 by the Ohio Statewide Family Engagement Center, outlines federal, state, and community-based funding opportunities to support family-school partnership initiatives that advance student success and school improvement.
Know that many listed grants are contingent upon state and federal budgetary allocations. All information contained herein is subject to change.
Federal funds come from the U.S. Department of Education and other federal agencies, often distributed to states and districts based on student needs. Federal entitlement grants, such as Title I, support schools serving low-income students and require family engagement activities. Competitive grants, like those under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), provide additional funding for school improvement and community partnerships.
Ohio education agencies allocate funds to districts through various programs, often supplementing federal resources. These may include state-level grants for early childhood education, family engagement initiatives, and programs targeting specific student populations. Some funding streams are formula-based, while others require schools and districts to apply. Visit https://grants.ohio.gov for additional funding opportunities currently available in Ohio.
Community-based funding sources, such as private foundations, nonprofit organizations, and local businesses offer grants and in-kind support for family-school partnerships. These funds may support innovative family engagement programs, after-school initiatives, or culturally responsive family outreach efforts. Many require competitive applications and emphasize collaboration between schools and community stakeholders.
