Local educators are invited to submit grant applications to the Richland County Foundation.
Teacher Assistance Program (TAP) grants of up to $1,500 each are selected by a community committee for classroom projects not covered by school funding. The grants are given to K-12 teachers in public or private Richland County schools to encourage them to carry out effective programs for their students.
Teachers also can apply for a Harry and Lois McCullough Fund grant. The grants are available for the purpose of promoting writing, literature appreciation, music and Ohio history through creative, innovative, and effective methods and programs.
Mansfield City School teachers have two additional opportunities: Field Trip and Family Involvement Activity and Fine Arts Fund grants.
The applications are available on richlandcountyfoundation.org with a June 25 deadline. For additional information contact Community Investment Officer Siera Marth-May at smarth@rcfoundation.org or 419-525-3020.
