ARCHS is issuing an RFP to provide funding to qualified service provider(s) to manage after school/out-of-school-time programs as a part of its After School for All Partnership (ASAP). ASAP was created in 2007 and is managed by ARCHS. In this role, ARCHS holds responsibility for issuing the application and awarding grant funding. Grant recipients will be required to sign a performance-based contract with ARCHS and provide required data and reports. Funding for each contract awarded will be determined by available funds and the number of licensed slots projected.
The funded after school programs shall serve low-income students in grades K-6 residing in St. Louis City or St. Louis County beginning in the 2024-2025 school year. Eligible after school program participants include students whose parents are working, in job training, or in school and qualify economically for free meals through the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) or the school lunch program.
Please submit the fully completed proposal and required accompanying materials NO later than 5:00 p.m. on July 17, 2024. No late applications will be accepted.
