LCCF Rolling Out STEM Grant Cycle

Last updated on Friday, August 18, 2017

(BEDFORD) - Lawrence County Community Foundation (LCCF) is offering 501c3 organizations, community institutions, and schools the opportunity to apply for a grant for out-of- school STEM projects or programs in Lawrence County.

The STEM programming must occur outside of the traditional school day and promote opportunities for hands-on learning in STEM that adds to or enhances school experiences at the elementary, middle, or high school level.

LCCF was awarded the Advancing Out-of- School STEM Learning Grant from Regional Opportunity Initiatives, Inc. to support science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

The Advancing Out-of- School STEM Learning Grant applications must be delivered to the Community Foundation at 1324 K Street, Bedford, IN by 4 p.m. on Wednesday, September 20th to be considered for funding.

This is a separate grant cycle, only for out-of-school STEM projects and programs, and organizations must use the STEM-specific grant application.

Forms are available at the LCCF website:

Awards will be distributed in early November 2017 and projects must be completed and final reporting received within one year.

Grants of $2,500 or more may be subject to a challenge, meaning the organization may be responsible for raising matching funds.

For more information call the Lawrence County Community Foundation office at (812) 279-2215.
