The Family Participation Fund

Over the life of CalSTAT, the project modeled and encouraged through all of its activities, family participation and partnership with educational agencies to improve education for all children.

CalSTAT’s funding SPDG Grant, specifically allocates dollars each year to provide oversight and administration of a program that directly funds parents. CalSTAT, through a subcontract with the California Association of Family Empowerment Centers, financially supports families to participate in local, regional, or statewide decision making committees and groups. So far within the new SPDG tha began in 2008, the Family Participation Fund issued 1,653 stipends to families. Since the program originally began it has served nearly 11,000 families.
