$5,000 Grant Opportunity
Application Deadline: Tuesday, October 8, 2024
Grants Committee Review: Wednesday, October 16, 2024
Do you have a new, innovative idea that would benefit WAPS students?
Is it wild, crazy, and school budget probably won’t cover it?
The Foundation for Winona Area Public Schools fosters creative spirit and invites employees of Winona Area Public Schools to apply for a Dare to Dream grant for up to $5,000. The grant is open to any and all WAPS employees, not just teachers. Applications should present an overview of the project or program and how it would benefit WAPS students. One winner will be selected.
Applying is easy!
1. Describe your idea in 500 words or less.
2. Include a simple budget estimate and timeline.
3. Email Jenny.Baertsch@winona.k12.mn.us
*Do not apply for a Dare to Dream grant through the Foundation’s online Grant Application.
*Dare to Dream finalists may be asked to present their ideas at the October 16 Foundation Board of Directors Meeting.
