For Oakland-Based Educators
We’re excited to again partner with the Oakland Ed Fund’s A to Z Mini-Grant program to support up to 50 Oakland educators in attending the 2026 Literacy & Justice for All Symposium.
Tickets are on sale now. Educators have two options to receive funding to attend the Symposium. Please remember that all grant decisions rest with the Ed Fund, and OLC cannot guarantee funding.
You have 2 options—
Option 1: Register Now
Purchase your ticket to secure your spot at the Symposium. When applications open in January, you can apply for A to Z reimbursement. This option gives you the best chance of both attending and receiving reimbursement.
Option 2: Wait until January 2026
Apply for an A- Z grant in January 2026 without registering first. Your ability to attend will depend on both Symposium ticket and A-Z grant availability. Grant confirmations may not come until mid- to late January, so attendance is not guaranteed.
