Grants for School Districts

A New Monthly column to help school superintendents and principals get addiitional funding so needed at a time when school budgets have been cut.

The Coca-Cola Foundation
The Coca-Cola Foundation encourages new solutions to countless problems that impede educational systems today, and it supports existing programs that work. Because the challenges for education are so broad, the Foundation’s commitment is multifaceted. It offers support to public and private colleges and universities, elementary and secondary schools, teacher-training programs, educational programs for minority students, and educational programs. Next application deadline: December 1, 2002. www2.coca-cola.com/citizenship/foundation_guidelines.html

Teaching Tolerance
The Southern Poverty Law Center provides Teaching Tolerance grants of up to $2,000 to K-12 classroom teachers for implementing tolerance projects in schools and communities. Proposals from other educators such as community organizations and churches will be considered on the basis of direct student impact. Application deadline: ongoing. www.tolerance.org/teach/expand/gra/guide.jsp

IBM’s Reinventing Education Program
IBM announced a $15 million grant program designed to drive higher-quality training for U.S. public school teachers—elevating their preparation to the rigorous standards in other professional fields. The announcement brings IBM’s investment in its global Reinventing Education initiative—currently serving 65,000 teachers and six million students—to $70 million. The Reinventing Education teacher training initiative creates a first-of-a-kind national collaborative among the participating teacher education schools with the common goal of driving up the academic quality of teacher preparation courses. The grants will bring innovative technologies into schools of education, and build new, permanent bridges between teacher education programs and the schools they serve. http: //www.ibm.com/ibm/ibmgives/grant/education/programs/reinventing/

Handspring Foundation
The Handspring Foundation focuses on supporting non-profit organizations or international equivalents that help at-risk children and youth. The Foundation makes cash grants from $1,000 to $25,000 for projects that focus on preK-12 education or other issues directly related to at-risk children and youth. Application deadline: November 1, 2002.
