To: Programs seeking support from Quad A for Kids

Quad A for Kids primarily provides our own after-school programming for children in the city of Rochester.   We do supplement that work by supporting some after-school and summer programs that engage youth in constructive activities with caring adults.   We seek programs that provide worthwhile activities while linking the kids with mentors and coaches who provide role models.    We look for programs that reinforce good behavior and school academics.

We only fund activities that take place in the city of Rochester, NY.   Our top priorities are (1) after-school programs in Schools #4, #30, #34 and (2) community based activities that we funded last year.   We do not fund capital programs, endowment campaigns, or non-501(c)3 programs unless affiliated with the above schools. Additional activity requirements include:
  · Requesting organizations must have insurance coverage.
  · Activities must occur during after school hours, on the weekend or in the summer.
      We do not fund programs held during school hours.
  · Activities must benefit under-privileged youth aged 5-15.
  · Activities should have an academic component or should address youth assets or skill building.
  · Activities should have a role model or mentor component.
