Grants for Catholic Elementary Schools
For Catholic primary schools who desire to improve their learning environment by incorporating innovative teaching techniques, materials, and equipment may apply for a grant to help them do so. Mathematics, science, reading, social studies, technology, and environmental studies programs are all eligible for funding via the program’s grant program.
Three of the most reliable sources of funding for Catholic elementary school grants are corporate foundations, non-profit organizations, and professional associations.
Fundraiser for the Lego Children’s Hospital.
The Lego Children’s Fund provides grants to tax-exempt organizations, such as private, public, and parochial schools, to support innovative health, physical education, math, reading, science, social studies, and technology programs in the areas of health, physical education, and technology.
Although submissions from organizations located anywhere in the United States will be considered, organizations based in Connecticut and western Massachusetts will be given priority consideration. Granted funds will help schools add digital photography and movie making to their curricula, offer sign language classes, start a robotics club and build a lab to study watersheds in their communities.
Schools will also benefit from grants to improve their facilities and improve the quality of their teaching. Funding for grants ranges from $500 to $5,000, with institutions required to match the cash with their own. Money is provided on a quarterly basis, with application deadlines on the first of February, the first of May, the first of August, and the first of November.
