​District 279 Foundation Grant Program

Focus Areas

District 279 Foundation seeks to support innovative and creative projects that align with the following focus areas:


Enhance Curriculum - Requests may be submitted that will support the enhancement of the current district curriculum. (This category requires pre-approval from the Learning & Achievement Department.)


Experiential Learning - Requests may be submitted for

opportunities that help students develop knowledge, skills, and 

values from direct experiences that may be unique within or outside

a traditional academic setting. Activities may include leadership

development, mentorship, intergenerational learning, diversity

awareness or character education.


Contribute to Community - Requests may be made to facilitate

connections with our community and/or provide an opportunity for

students to contribute to our community. This experience should

help students become responsible, confident, caring, and

contributing citizens. Activities may include providing a

performance, doing community service, volunteering, attending a

community meeting, tidying up a local area, or helping a neighborhood.
