The New York State Education Department (NYSED) is issuing a competitive five‑year grant (July 1 2026 – June 30 2031) to fund Extended School Day (ESD) and School Violence Prevention (SVP) programs. Eligible lead applicants are public school districts and nonprofit/community‑based organizations that partner with districts. Each lead applicant may request up to $450,000 total (combined ESD and SVP) with a minimum ESD award of $125,000 and a minimum of 50 unduplicated student participants. Applications are submitted via the Survey Monkey Apply portal and must be received by April 17, 2026; no extensions are permitted. Funding is capped at approximately $24.3 million annually statewide, allocated by geography (NYC 40%, big‑four cities 10%, rest of state 50%). The grant requires a signed partnership agreement, a detailed five‑year budget (FS‑10 forms), a program narrative (3,500‑character limit per section), and an independent evaluator. Indirect costs are limited to 5 % of the total award.
