GRANT FOCUS: Education, K-12, Underserved Students, Child/Youth Development
Amount: Up to $10,000
Deadline: Oct. 1, 2019 (LOI)
“[The foundation] has a longstanding commitment to youth education. We focus this grantmaking on two areas: K-12 education and Arts education. In both areas, the foundation makes grants to help children, especially those in underserved communities, acquire the knowledge, skills, and behaviors they need to succeed in school, career pathways, and life.
MDBF’s education grantmaking funds programs for underserved K-12 students that provide innovative, creative, and effective approaches to teaching and learning, particularly those that address the opportunity gap these students can experience. For the purpose of our grants, underserved students are those who lack access to programs, opportunities, or support because of economic conditions, race or ethnic background, geography, disability, abuse, or neglect.
MDBF funds in-school and out-of-school programs that strengthen and support academic achievement. The foundation has a strong interest in projects that provide students with opportunities to think critically, problem solve and problem find, work collaboratively, and/or communicate effectively.”
Funder: The Mary Duke Biddle Foundation (MDBF)
