The Nevada Commission on Mentoring (NCOM) announced it is accepting applications for FY2024 Micro-grants. Micro-grants are available to non-profit organizations or programs in the State of Nevada which provide mentorship to students.
“Mentorship has proven to be a powerful tool with great academic, social, and economic benefits for our students,” said Jhone Ebert, Superintendent of Public Instruction. “I am proud of the work being done by the Nevada Commission on Mentoring and look forward to the positive impacts of these grants.”
Applications will be accepted until Tuesday, November 21, 2023, and selected organizations will be notified on January 31, 2024. NCOM has a total of $25,000 available to award to mentoring-focused programs throughout the State.
NCOM was established to support and facilitate mentorship programs in the state of Nevada and to work in consultation with the Nevada Department of Education to provide direction and guidance to the State Coordinator for mentorship programs.
“The commission thanks Superintendent Ebert and the Nevada Legislature for continuing to support our work amplifying mentorship. Our grants cycle is positively impacting mentees across our communities, and the results speak volumes for the state’s investment,” said NCOM Chairman Karl Catarata. “We look forward to the exciting applications that will benefit hard-working mentorship organizations in Nevada!”
