Overview

Bluejacket Education Foundation Grant Local students are the future of the community. They’re tomorrow’s leaders, caregivers, business owners, skilled tradespeople, educators, technicians, and more. Investing in Cambridge-Isanti students today lays the foundation for a stronger local community tomorrow. The Bluejacket Education Foundation was created to invest in students served by the Cambridge-Isanti Independent School District, financially supporting educational and enrichment opportunities through annual grants funded by the generosity of our community. The Bluejacket Education Foundation is a Partner Fund of the Initiative Foundation. As a program of the Initiative Foundation, all Bluejacket Education Foundation contributions are professionally managed and stewarded for the benefit of the community now and long into the future. A Foundation for the Future The vision of the Bluejacket Education Foundation is to invest in endless opportunities for generations of Cambridge-Isanti students through ever-increasing educational grants fueled by generous community donors. By cultivating local generosity, the fund is able to more fully support the education and enrichment of Cambridge-Isanti students. Created in 2022, the Bluejacket Education Foundation is a permanently endowed charitable investment account in which the principal contributions are never spent; only the earnings are used to provide a flexible, dependable funding stream to support important initiatives that help our students grow and thrive. Advisory team members believe that the investments made today, in the endowment and in students, build a lasting legacy for our students and our community. Grant applications should address the following priority areas: To increase opportunities and expand educational horizons for Cambridge-Isanti students, from the youngest learners to soon-to-be graduates, by funding supplemental and/or innovative learning experiences. To support programs, activities, and experiences, both inside and outside the classroom, that support student learning, achievement, growth, and well-being. Grant Amounts Grants may be requested and awarded in amounts between $500 – $2,000 each. The BJEF Advisory Committee will review the applications and provide grant recommendations to the Initiative Foundation. The Initiative Foundation will then send funds directly to the school district, local government or applicable 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
