CHARACTER COUNTS!
The Sprint Foundation is offering grants through its Sprint Character Education Grant Program for K-12 public schools and school districts. The grant funds character education teacher training and curriculum as well as projects for service learning and leadership/mentor training. This opportunity fits perfectly with CHARACTER COUNTS! and is an excellent opportunity to begin or enhance your CC! initiative. Several schools and districts used the Sprint Grant to do just that in last year’s application cycle.
Individual schools may apply for grants up to $5,000, and school districts may apply for grants up to $25,000. Again, the grant is limited to public schools and school districts, which includes public charter schools, for projects and activities in the 2010-2011 school year.
We offer consultative support on constructing your CC! implementation plan to meet the priorities of the grant. If you plan to apply, please call our national office at (800) 711-2670 so we can be of assistance to you.
Best of luck on the application process!
Sincerely,
Justin Lu
Assistant Director
