By Sam Patterson, Public Relations, VP, Bronxville School Foundation
The Bronxville School Foundation is pleased to announce that it has kicked off its 2024 grant cycle. Faculty, administrators, staff, students, parents, and community members are encouraged to submit grant applications. The grant application, information about the application process, and summaries of recently approved grants are available on the Foundation’s website, www.BronxvilleSchoolFoundation.org.
The Foundation is eager to support grants for programming and resources that enable the school community to engage, employ, and embody each of the four dispositions of the Bronxville Promise:
To innovate, discover, and create;
To make something new from what you know.
To find your voice and communicate clearly;
To lead with passion and persistence.
To think critically, explore nature, history, and culture;
To gain the understanding and courage to change.
To collaborate and serve others;
To engage the world near and far and make it a better place.
The Foundation also supports grant initiatives that strengthen the Heart of the Promise, fostering compassion and support of others, collaboration, integrity, perseverance, inclusivity, social and emotional well-being, and belonging.
The Foundation's mission is to raise community funds in order to provide grants for innovative resources and programming that are beyond the Bronxville School's budget. We have funded grants for the arts, athletics, health & wellness, and all academic disciplines.
This year’s deadline for grant applications is Friday, March 1, 2024.
Since its inception in 1991, the Foundation has awarded more than $12.6 million in grants for curriculum development and faculty training, pilot programs, new equipment and technology, and enhancements to school facilities.
