Grants
District 279 Foundation’s grants program provides learning opportunities for scholars in Osseo Area Schools by funding programs, projects and other opportunities that are not currently funded through the district's budget. Any district employee, school volunteer or community member may submit an application for consideration.
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 scholars 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 scholars 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.
OUR MISSION: To support and enhance the district's dedication to all scholars.
