This afternoon we received the excellent news that the Walton Family Foundation has awarded us a Phase III planning grant in the amount of $60,000. Last week Vince, Steven and Joel from our Board and I met with the Walton grant committee to present our full grant proposal. We felt positive about the interview and are elated that the foundation has already committed the Phase III funding. SLLIS was awarded $60,000 in Phase I and II in 0708. The final installment of this planning and implementation grant will be awarded once the state has authorized our charter.
The next two grants on our list: AmeriCorps*State and Federal Foreign Language Assistance Program.
Go SLLIS!
