PSP Addendum 2 - Frontier_Spanish_Final.pdf

This document is an addendum to a Request for Grant Applications (RFA) issued by the Oregon Department of Early Learning and Care (DELC) for the Preschool Promise program within the Frontier Early Learning Hub region. The addendum modifies the original RFA timeline, extending the application deadline from June 17, 2024 to June 18, 2024 and the anticipated award notification date from June 25, 2024 to July 12, 2024. The RFA seeks to reallocate any available Preschool Promise slots for the 2024-2025 program year and establish a waitlist pool for future consideration. Eligible applicants include child care centers, family child care providers, and other early learning organizations within the Frontier Early Learning Hub region, which covers Grant and Harney counties in Oregon.

The RFA provides details on the grant funding, including a base amount of $15,650 per slot per year, an optional $1,100 per slot transportation enhancement, and one-time start-up funds of $1,000 per slot for existing grantees or $2,000 per new site established. Applicants will receive a Community Needs Score based on preferred characteristics, and slots will be awarded in priority zip code order until all slots are assigned. Applicants who do not meet the outlined characteristics will not be eligible for a slot award but can be added to the Preschool Promise Applicant Waitlist Pool for future consideration. The total available funding amount is not specified, but the RFA indicates that there are 4 slots available for reallocation in this region.
