Dear fellow Hanoverians:
Is there a non-profit in Hanover that would like to support
Hanover’s K-12 students? I love it when businesses step up to the
plate and offer to make Hanover a better place to live. Read on!
The Eastern Bank Charitable Foundation has begun accepting
applications for grants that seek to improve the quality of education
for children in kindergarten through Grade 12 as part of its annual
“Targeted Grants” program.
Dubbed “K-12 Student Success,” the Charitable Foundation is
looking for nonprofits to submit proposals that fund programs or
initiatives aimed at improving the quality of childhood education
between kindergarten through Grade 12. The Foundation plans to
distribute more than $1 million in targeted grants as part of its
overall annual donations.
“There’s no greater contribution we can make to our communities than
ensuring that all our children have equal access to a quality
education and a bright future,” said Laura Kurzrok, Executive
Director of the Eastern Bank Charitable Foundation. “Our goal is for
all children in our communities to graduate from high school educated,
informed and prepared for a sustainable career or the rigors of higher
education.” Programs to be supported include, but are not limited
to:
• In-school Academic Enrichment – Academic enrichment programs
that support students during their school day;
• After-school Academic Enrichment –Academic enrichment programs
that support students after their school day;
• Technology Enhancements – Providing resources to students with
limited access to necessary technology;
• Mentoring – In-and-out of school programs designed to support
students academically and emotionally;
• Eliminating Barriers to Success – Programs addressing the myriad
of complex issues impacting student success.
The Charitable Foundation plans to award grants ranging from $10,000
to $50,000, with the majority of the awards granted in the $10,000 to
$15,000 range. The grants will be reviewed annually and requests must
be submitted by March 1, 2014. For more information and to apply for a
grant, please visit: www.easternbank.com/foundation
