As the Fredonia Community Foundation, an affiliate of Central Kansas Community Foundation, works to increase awareness in the community of our mission, we hope to continue our partnership with the staff of USD 484. We know that in a time of conservative spending, teachers may have classroom needs and/or opportunities that are outside of your annual classroom budget. We are dedicating $5,000 to these grants.
Qualified applicants must be a staff member of USD 484.
Proposals may be written for classroom materials, special project/programs, or field trips. Funding will not be granted for capital projects, salaries, utility expenses, to buy items to raffle, teacher training or conference travel. Think creatively and consider working collaboratively with your team.
The Fredonia Area Community Foundation is here to support educators, and we appreciate the continued good work they are doing for the students of USD 484.
Application available online at www.centralkansascf.org
