Funding-Limited
Submission – RGK Foundation Grants Program; April
29, 2014
Description:
RGK
Foundation awards grants in the broad areas of Education, Community,
and Medicine/Health.
The
Foundation's primary interests within Education include programs that focus
on formal K-12 education (particularly mathematics, science and reading),
teacher development, literacy, and higher education.
Within
Community, the Foundation supports a broad range of human services,
community improvement, abuse prevention, and youth development programs. Human
service programs of particular interest include children and family services,
early childhood development, and parenting education. Youth development
programs supported typically include after-school educational enrichment programs
that supplement and enhance formal education systems to increase the chances
for successful outcomes in school and life. The Foundation is also interested
in programs that attract female and minority students into the fields of
mathematics, science, and technology.
The
Foundation's current interests in the area of Medicine and Health
include programs that promote the health and well-being of children, programs
that promote access to health services, and Foundation-initiated programs
focusing on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
