Under this three-year award (extending through June 30, 2029), Save The Children will deliver one-on-one volunteer services including academic tutoring, literacy instruction, and mentoring to vulnerable populations through schools, Head Start programs, childcare centers, and community settings. The grantee is required to maintain a 10% statutory match and 26.24% budgetary match. Save The Children's work includes utilizing sub-awards to partner organizations to maximize program effectiveness and maintain comprehensive financial and program records for three years following final Federal Financial Report submission.
