STUDENT ENRICHMENT
EQUITY GRANTS
Important note: The deadline
for Student Enrichment EQUITY GRANTS has passed. Applications are posted for informational purposes only.
The Foundation established its Student Enrichment EQUITY GRANTS
program to encourage activities that help students expand their
horizons. EQUITY GRANTS have been established to "level the
playing field" for low-income and at-risk children who are
not receiving many of the enrichment opportunities students in
more affluent communities are provided. The Foundation encourages
projects that provide opportunities for students to:
1. Learn about the community and its cultural diversity
through field trips.
2. Learn social skills, i.e. menu ordering, practicing
acceptable behavior in public places, etc.
3. Learn real-life skills, i.e., good nutrition,
personal hygiene, child safety, environmental issues, how checking
accounts work, what function banks play in our everyday lives,
etc.
4. Learn and experience good citizenship through
community service work.
5. Begin thinking about their work careers through
exposure to business speakers modeling their professionalism and
describing qualifications necessary in their field of expertise.
6. Learn from opportunities provided by PTA's/PTO's
in other schools that are not eligible for Student Enrichment EQUITY
GRANTS.
Student Enrichment EQUITY GRANTS target those schools
within the Clark County School District that have 40% or more low
income students and/or a heavily under-served minority population.
It is The Foundation's goal to involve the parents of the targeted
schools in these grants.
Grants are made on a matching funds basis. EQUITY
GRANTS match four (4) dollars to every one (1) raised by the grant
applicant school. For example, if a school raises $750 for a project,
The Foundation will provide $3,000 and the school will have a total
of $3,750 to expend on the project. If the cost of the project
is more than $3,750, the school and/or another source must provide
the needed additional project funds.
The Foundation matches funds up to $3,000. The
funds must be used before the close of the school year. All approved
grants will be awarded in October. For additional information,
