THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: COVID-19, Education, Racial Equity, STEM Education, Disadvantaged Students
Deadline: Jan. 31, 2021
“During these extraordinary times, we want to ensure the grants we fund align to the needs of the communities we serve. We will look at funding this year through the lens of how we can best help our customers and communities recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, and how we can further the work on social justice and racial equity in our communities.
These grants support:
- Programs to address the summer reading loss (“summer slide”) experienced by rising kindergartners through rising third-graders with an emphasis on addressing new gaps/barriers created by COVID.
- Programs that advance energy, engineering and environmental education through student programming or teacher professional development and that also create equal learning environments in these areas for people of color.
- Programs serving under-represented, low-income or diverse audiences, including people of color, women and minorities, will be given preference in this grant cycle. Programs that extend into out-of-school time will be given preference in this grant cycle.”
