Spokane Public Schools Foundation

Grants

The Spokane Public Schools Foundation offers three grant programs designed in conjunction with Spokane Public Schools to address specific needs.  Examples of funding opportunities under each type of program are described below.

1. Enhancement of Student Achievement and Success.
Not all students can afford the courses, supplies, and testing that is important for academic success. The goal of this program is to provide the opportunity for high school students with limited financial resources to enroll in any academic class offered by their high school, especially those associated with graduation requirements, preparation for college or college admission. Examples may include: summer school scholarships, AP tests, SAT tests, ACT tests, school supplies, and AVID Program (Advancement Via Individual Determination).

2. Enrichment of Classroom Environment and Learning Experiences.
Currently, not all teachers have the budgets to pursue innovative teaching techniques, curricula or activities that enhance the current program. The purpose of the Classroom/School Enrichment Grants is to support innovative educational projects that enhance student learning in a classroom, grade level or school project in an original or innovative way and that actively engage students in an enriching learning experience. Examples may include: classroom enrichment materials (grade schools), math/science clubs, creative teaching projects, "out of school time" grants, and IDEA grants.

3. Support Programs With Community-Wide Impact.

Whereas the first two types of grant programs are intended to benefit individual students or classrooms, this category encompasses programs with a broad or community-wide impact. Examples may include: spring band/orchestra arena concert, elementary cross-country programs, and miscellaneous community/school interface programs.
