Dear Colleagues:

Today, the Department announced the availability of the planning grant application for Promise Neighborhoods (PN), a new program to significantly improve the educational and developmental outcomes of children in our most distressed communities.

Because the challenges faced by communities with high concentrations of poverty are interrelated, Promise Neighborhoods is taking a comprehensive approach designed to ensure that children have access to a continuum of cradle-through-college-to-career solutions, with strong schools at the center, that will support academic achievement, healthy development, and college and career success.

Please visit www2.ed.gov/programs/promiseneighborhoods/index.html for the full application, summary documents, and the opportunity to register for several informational and application webinars in the coming days and weeks. 

Webinar dates are:
  • Monday, May 3, 1-2 p.m. EST (Program overview only)
  • Wednesday, May 5, 1-5 p.m. EST
  • Monday, May 10, Noon-4 p.m. EST
The deadline for the transmittal of applications is June 25. The deadline for Notice of Intent to apply is May 21.

Additional inquiries should be submitted to promiseneighborhoods@ed.gov.
