Most people agree that students deserve to have an enriching education full of choices and new opportunities. However, these resources and learning opportunities often come with a cost. Our focus as a foundation is on how we can support the community, teachers, and our schools. So don't lose hope; the Eau Claire Public Schools Foundation has your back!

Every year, the foundation takes in applications for grants of up to $1500 per project. Staff at local schools can apply for the grant to fund innovative and creative projects that will have a significant impact on student learning. Some examples from previous years' grant projects include funding for:

• Field Trips

• After School Programs

• Professional Development/Training

• Family Conversation Kits

• Expansion of Supplies for Classes/Organizations

• Purchase of Instruments

This year's grant cycle starts accepting applications on October 11, 2023 and closes submissions on November 1st, 2023.
