Grants

Students working on an art project.The Foundation will use a grant process that carefully considers the purpose, scope, and educational impact of each proposal.

What form will grants take?

The Hermiston Education Foundation will support one level of classroom grants:  Basic Grants.

The Basic Grant level will be less than $1,000. Two determining factors in awarding grants will be the project's ability to provide significant enhancement to children's education and to what extent the project supports improvement goals.
