Request for Proposals: 2020 Excellence in Education Initiative Grants

The Sioux Falls Area Community Foundation today announced a request for proposals for its 2020 Excellence in Education Initiative grants.
Now in its 29th year, the initiative offers grants to teachers who have innovative ideas for classroom projects. Since the program began, hundreds of programs and activities designed by teachers throughout the Sioux Falls area have received grant funding, enriching educational experiences for students.
"We've always known that teachers are amazing, and that's never been more apparent than during this unprecedented moment in time," said Patrick Gale, vice president for community investment. "Teachers give of themselves in countless ways to inspire, guide, care for and nurture our kids. This is our chance to give back in support of their ideas and dreams.”
