About the Foundation:
Our Board is comprised of volunteer community members, business leaders, and District 113 staff and students.
Our Mission Statement for D113 Foundation Grant Giving: To enrich the student experience at Deerfield and Highland Park High Schools by fostering innovative programs and opportunities.
Our primary driver is to support innovative programs.
- The D113 Foundation generally does not look to fund requests that we feel should be funded by department budgets
- We do not fund programs due to budget cuts or unavailability of department funds
- We encourage applicants to be creative and explain why their ideas/requests are unique and how they will benefit students
- We also generally do not fund gifts, prizes and giveaways
- We do not fund groups that will use our funds to raise money to give to others
To Apply: When the grant portal is open on October 14, 2024, we will notify you and provide additional instructions. |
