Abstract	Despite widespread support for out-of-school time programs, many of these programs rely on time-limited core funding and struggle to find new funds to sustain their programs and initiatives as initial grants expire. This report provides concrete tips and examines ways out-of-school time initiative leaders have succeeded in replacing initial seed grant money by creating a diverse portfolio of federal, state, local, and private funds. The report also offers suggestions for finding longer-term funding and shares ideas for program leaders whose grants will expire soon. Following introductory remarks, the report is organized according to six tips matching the stages of a new program: (1) "Start Local, Think Global: Tap into Community Resources"; (2) "Make Out-of-School Time Programs Everyone's Business: Build a Broad Base of Community Support"; (3) "Put the Pieces Together: Build a Pot of Flexible Dollars"; (4) "Rely on the Generosity of Friends and Neighbors: Expand In-Kind Support"; (5) "Capitalize on Success: Tap into Federal and State Funds"; and (6) "Always Be on the Lookout for Windows of Opportunity." The report concludes by pointing out that as out-of-school program administrators seek to find sustainable funding for their programs, they consider lessons learned from existing successful programs; a list of 27 such programs with a corresponding reference is included.
