VERY DAY ACROSS ST. VRAIN

VALLEY SCHOOLS, partners enrich the educational experience for our students. Often, their contributions build on one another. In preschool classrooms, students receive grant-funded tuition scholarships from the Buell Foundation and support from senior volunteers who participate in the Senior Tax Exchange Program. Students in Skyline’s P-TECH program, Falcon Tech, build deep and meaningful relationships with mentors from IBM, while benefiting from paid internship opportunities made possible by a private family foundation.

Community Strong has just launched, yet, in a short time, we’ve already achieved so much.

GRANTS AT A GLANCE

OMMUNITY STRONG is made up of a rich web of partners that share time and resources to change the lives of our students every day. Grant providers are important Community Strong partners. Grants provide nonrepayable funds or products from government agencies, corporations, foundations, or trusts to be dedicated to a defined initiative. Grant funds leverage resources from our General Fund and thus allow us to extend programming that improves student achievement and growth. Securing grants involves teamwork between our private and public sector partners; select grants require matching funds from the private sector equal to a certain percentage of the grant.
