The Sun Prairie-based Compeer Financial is partnering with the Rural Schools Collaborative to present the Rural Schools Innovation Grants program to support exemplary programs developed by rural schools during the pandemic.
Grants of up to $10,000 per school district are available through this one-time program. Rural public schools in Compeer Financial's 144-county territory in parts of Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin are eligible to apply. A total of $150,000 is available for this grant program.
"This pandemic has resulted in unprecedented hardships for rural schools and their communities. However, challenges present opportunities and it has been heartening to observe the creativity, enthusiasm and commitment of rural teachers and school leaders in so many of our communities," said Gary Funk, director of Rural Schools Collaborative. "The Rural Schools Innovation Grant will advance programs that are ingenious, effective and sustainable. RSC is proud to partner with the Compeer Financial Fund for Rural America on this worthy initiative."
Grant applications will be accepted through May 15. Visit compeer.com/giving-back for more information and to apply.
