Overview

Arts, Enrichment & Innovation Grants

Overview: Bellevue Schools Foundation offers school-based grants to teachers and staff to enhance the education experience for their students and provide opportunities for innovation in the classroom.

Purpose: This competitive grant program funds innovative projects that:

  • Extend the regular curriculum

  • Encourage higher-level thinking skills

  • Enrich students through art, music, culture, science, or other activities

  • Provide field trip opportunities

  • Support innovation in classrooms

    • Geographic Scope: Bellevue School District (WA)

    Eligible Applicants:

  • Arts and music (including instruments and professional clinicians)

  • STEM and curriculum enrichment

  • Innovative initiatives

    • Special Considerations:

  • Foundation encourages partnerships with colleagues in Bellevue's Title 1 (low-income) schools to bring arts, enrichment, and innovation to children who may not have access to these experiences outside of school

  • Music grants, previously awarded separately, are now incorporated into this program

  • Over $2.3 Million has been invested to date in Arts, Enrichment & Innovation Grants
