Stitch was created by a coalition of nonprofits all working in the expanded learning, out-of-school time space. Together, we’ve created an indispensable resource that fills a much-needed gap for visibility and accessibility to K-12 learning opportunities across Greater Los Angeles.
Our mission is to ensure that all students have access to transformational enrichment opportunities.
The Advancement Grant offers financial support to Los Angeles County school districts working to provide quality arts education to all students. Districts may apply for matching funds of up to $25,000. Los Angeles County school districts that are in partnership with the Arts Ed Collective and will be implementing board approved strategic plans for arts education in 2024-25 are eligible to apply. Application Deadline: March 13, 2024 | 6PM (PDT)
