Grants
The Bolton Community Education
Foundation is a non-profit, community-operated organization founded to
enhance and promote educational opportunities for all the residents of Bolton.
Our primary goal is to support worthy educational projects and programs
that meet the needs of the
Bolton
community.
Grant applications are accepted on
a rolling basis with no final submission date.
Grant funding is available on a first-come basis for well-planned
programs as long as funding is available. Anyone from the community, not
just teachers, may apply for a grant.
