The education foundation conducted a community survey to determine needs and funding priorities for its grant making programs.
Funding is available for one year.
Grant programs continuing beyond the first year may resubmit their request for additional funding. Directed Focus Grants are for projects larger in scope, impact, and time than annual individual classroom or school grants. The directed focus project will be identified by school administrators and foundation board. Youth Leadership Grants are to support and encourage student leadership development and youth involvement in philanthropy and community service. Applications for Youth Grant funds require the endorsement of the high school or middle school guidance departments.
