School Grants
The City of Indian Wells recognizes the significance that schools play in the community and the importance they play in providing invaluable educational services to the communities they serve. The City further recognizes that, at times, circumstances may warrant that financial assistance be provided to some of these schools.
The City has earmarked education funds to enable schools to offer programs they would otherwise not be able to afford and to meet the special needs of students. Each request will be evaluated based on the availability of funds and the relevance of the request based on developed guidelines for this grant program.
Applications for the Indian Wells School Grant program will be accepted from July 1 through October 30 of each year. Application review and funding determination will take place during November or December of each year. This grant program is competitive. Schools are limited to submission of two applications per year and maximum funding of $3,000 per school.
Each application requires the approval and signature of the school principal. Potential applicants are advised to seek direction from their school principal for school grant priorities and pre-approval. Successful applicants shall note that grant funds will not be released to the School Districts on their behalf until a paid invoice is submitted to the City.
