As detailed in 4201(b)(1)(B)(3), eligible organizations include local educational agencies (LEAs) (i.e., school districts), community-based organizations, Indian tribe or tribal organization, and other public or private entities. All applicants must meet the criteria of a joint applicant to be considered for funding (see Appendix A. Definitions of Terms Used). A joint applicant is at least two organizations that together submit a single application proposing a project to serve a school in an eligible school attendance area in which not less than 40 percent of the children are from low-income families, or not less than 40 percent of the children enrolled in the school are from such families. At least one of the organizations must be a school or LEA, and the other organization must be an entity other than a school or LEA.

Applicants may propose to serve students that are attending schools eligible to receive Title I funding. However, applicants may not propose to implement programs at a school or a site that is currently receiving 21st CCLC funds nor propose to serve students who attend schools that are currently receiving 21st CCLC funds.
