Lion Grants Encourage Exceptional Ideas
The Central Lyon Foundation funds Lion Grants, a program that encourages exceptional ideas that will improve the educational process. It is designed to stimulate the development of projects that will improve instruction, but not serve as a primary source for equipment, materials, or operational revenue. The program provides resources to educators to implement creative ideas at their school or in their area of responsibility. The awards are an avenue to explore, develop and refine the educator's ideas for improving the education of our students. Any educator employed within the district may submit a Lion Grant request.
The Foundation appreciates CL teachers' interest in this funding source and look forward to receiving applications. Applications will be reviewed and awarded in April, with the applications due April 1. Applications should be completed via an Excel form by clicking here.
The 2020 Lion Grant recipients received awards totaling $9,384.12!
The deadline for applications will be April 1st of each year - funds will be available for the following school year. There is no minimum request level, and although exceptions can be made, the maximum request is $750. The Foundation Board reserves the right to consider requests at other times or carry dollars forward if the annual allocation has not been expended
