Care and Share Philanthropy Grants
Care and Share was developed through a partnership between the Santa Barbara Foundation and The Teachers Network, under the umbrella of the Santa Barbara County Education Office. The Foundation provides $15,000 in funding for grants with a maximum of $1,000 each to K-12 public school teachers and classrooms in Santa Barbara County.
Applications due: November 25, 2008
Projects must:
1. develop an understanding and appreciation of philanthropy and community service;
2. cultivate an ethic of giving;
3. provide youth with philanthropic learning experiences that enable them to realize their own power to make a difference in the community through the simple act of giving.
• New applicants may either adapt previously funded projects for their own classrooms or propose new projects.
• Teachers who have received a Care and Share grant may reapply, either with a new project or to re-implement a previously-funded project with new students.
• Proposals for school site improvement projects are not eligible.
• Projects may be implemented at any time during the current academic year. However, if your project begins before the December award date, please be advised that Care & Share grants are competitive and funding is not guaranteed.
