The holiday season is a perfect time for children to think about how they can give back and make a difference in the world around them! When a student has an idea, KIDS grants from the District 181 Foundation can help by providing funding to make their idea a reality.
Any District 181 student can apply for a $150 grant anytime during the year.
Funds will be received within two weeks.
Students can do their project on their own, with friends or family members, or with their scout troops or other community or religious organizations.
All they need to do is submit an application.
For more information please email us at KIDSgrant@d181foundation.org
