Sending you all a communication that we received from the Executive Director of the Michigan Afterschool Partnership as they seek and advocate for a $50M general fund allocation in the upcoming state of Michigan budget. This allocation includes the opportunity to apply for grants from a wide variety of afterschool and summer program providers including libraries. ************************************************ On behalf of the Michigan Afterschool Partnership<http://www.miafterschool.org/> (MASP), I’m writing to ask you to complete a brief survey regarding your before/afterschool and summer learning opportunities. If you’re not familiar with MASP, our mission is to champion statewide access to quality and equitable Out-of-School Time (OST) programs to ensure that all children and youth succeed. In an ongoing effort to meet your needs, we would like to know more about your program so that we can provide elements of service that are important to you. This survey is a continuation of MASP’s data project. You can view the initial landscape report<https://static1.squarespace.com/static/60341a5b18e26342403dea54/t/618d264a3cc39f2431a5777f/1636640333090/MASP+Report+110921.pdf> from October 2021. To help us provide you with the best possible service, we would appreciate your assistance in filling out the enclosed survey<https://www.research.net/r/MASPFollowup> and completing it by June 30, 2022. All completed surveys will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win one of three iPads. Your response will make a difference. Thank you for your help and your valued partnership in Out-of-School time. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding the survey or about how you can engage in MASP!
