ACR is excited to continue the partnership with the JAMS Foundation in announcing the 2025 Funding Focus.

ACR is pleased to announce this Notification of Funding Availability (NOFA) and request for initial proposal ideas for the 2025 funding cycle of the JAMS Foundation-ACR Initiative for Students and Youth.

The funding focus for the 2025 funding cycle is to support conflict resolution education and training (CRE) for Pre-K through 12th grade students and youth. The proposed project will build upon the current work of the school system’s current policies and practices regarding youth involved in fights, disruptive behavior, or violating school conduct rules, moving them to become more restorative in nature and focus on resolving the conflict with the least amount of disruption for the student, teacher, peers, and family. Priority will be given to school district applicants where 5% or more of their students in grade 6, grade 7, or grade 8 are learning at a grade level at least one year behind their age group in one or more academic areas of study.

The full NOFA, including the grant process and information on the informational conference call, is available online; click to view!
