Summary
This posting is a competitive grant opportunity titled 'FY2027 Fund Code 0726: Early Literacy Consortium Grant' issued by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to fund multi-year consortia focused on improving early literacy preparation and hiring of effective PK–2/PK–8 teachers. Approximately $800,000 is projected to be available across FY27 with category-specific award caps and applicants must submit through the DESE Grants for Education Management System (GEM$). The page lists a submission deadline of July 22, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. local time and describes eligibility, funding use, reporting and data-sharing requirements — this is explicitly a grant (not a procurement RFP) and therefore does not meet the user's requirement for a non-grant RFP.
