Grant Opportunities

Mini-Grants for Teachers  and Guidance Counselors Available

In partnership with the Walmart Foundation, FAO is pleased to offer the Walmart Strive for Excellence Mini-Grants Initiative, providing investments from $500 - $2,500 to encourage and support the efforts of teachers across the region.

Grants will support learning projects and activities resulting in students' increased interest and pursuit of post-secondary education and exploration of career opportunities.
