The New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS), in consultation with the New York State Education Department invites eligible school districts and not-for-profit community-based organizations to submit proposals for the establishment and/or expansion of quality after-school programs for the Empire State After-School Program (ESAP).

The New York State Fiscal Year 2019-20 State Budget appropriates $10 million to establish and/or expand Empire State After-School Programs. ESAP grant funds shall only be used to supplement, and not supplant, current local expenditures of federal, state or local funds on after-school programs and the number of students served in such programs from such sources. For example: an after-school program funded by OCFS that currently has 100 student participants and proposes to serve an additional 50 students will only be allowed funding through this RFP for those additional 50 students.

Applicants funded under this RFP will be required to provide an assurance that the applicants will partner with state and local law enforcement in gang prevention and education initiatives.
