Education Grant Opportunity

United Way of Central Offering Up to $150,000 for Education Programs (application due date extended to 8/27/2010)

Research shows that children who do not gain the ability to read by the third grade are at risk of never obtaining this important ability, and that graduation from high school is one of the most critical determinants of success later in life.

United Way of Central Oklahoma is committed to helping our community's youth become successful, therefore we are offering up to $150,000 in education grants to programs that focus on improving reading abilities and increasing the high school graduation rate.

Proposals must involve established programs within central Oklahoma and are due August 27, 2010. A committee comprised of members of the United Way of Central Oklahoma Board of Directors, Research and Community Initiatives Committee, Community Investment Volunteers and other community leaders will review submitted proposals. Multiple grants may be awarded, however, an individual grant will be no greater than $50,000.
