The Toolbox for Education Grant Program

Deadline: October 16

Offered by Lowe's Charitable and Educational Foundation, these grants provide up to $5,000 to K-12 public schools and 501(c)(3) parent-teacher groups associated with public schools that develop projects that encourage parent involvement and build stronger community spirit. Lowe's will donate a total of $5 million to more than 1,000 different schools throughout the U.S. during the 2009-2010 school year. Preference is given to funding requests which have a permanent impact such as facility enhancement or landscaping/clean-up projects. In addition, for this school year basic needs requests will take priority in order to provide the tools that
help educators and parent groups through these challenging times. The upcoming application deadlines are October 16, 2009, and February 12, 2010.
