Grants to Schools and Teachers
Nearly $22,000 was awarded to 15 successful applicants from among the 11 members of the Blackstone Valley Education Foundation for grants that support the development of 21st century work and learning skills among our students. Many thanks to the businesses and individuals who contribute to the Foundation and who participate in the annual Golf Tournament, and particularly of the Lampin Corporation in Uxbridge for their generosity and consideration for a stronger community of learners.
Each year the Foundation raises funds from business and industry and through the generous donations of residents, friends, and golf tournament participants to support schools and teachers via grants up to $5,000. Teachers and staff are invited to check the website in late January 2010 for information about the 2010-2011 program.
The Blackstone Valley Chamber of Commerce Education Foundation invites public and private member schools in the 11-town Massachusetts Blackstone Valley region to submit proposals to its annual grant program. Grant funds are made available through the generous support of the Foundation from the Lampin Corporation and the contribution and participation of many individuals and businesses in the Annual Golf Tournament and other activities.
Grants in any amount up to $5000 are available to those teachers and staff among the member school districts who wish to propose innovative programming that connects schools and students to business and community efforts and that instill skills for 21st century careers.
