Our annual grant program provides the means to connect students with the resources, experiences and opportunities to meet their full potential and enhance learning in our local classrooms.
Enrichment and innovation grants provide up to a $1000 in funding and are targeted at projects that can have a meaningful impact on a small group or individual classroom of students. For grants up to $5000 that impact even more students, check out our Big Idea grants Here.
