Grant Opportunities

The Jonathan R. Kennedy Trust Fund Grant at the Colorado School for the Deaf and the Blind (CSDB) provides funding to Colorado school districts, 501(c)(3) organizations, and full-time CSDB staff for innovative projects that directly impact Colorado children and youth, birth to 21, who are deaf/hard of hearing and/or blind/low vision.  Awards range from $500 to $5000 and are intended to support projects for which other sources have been exhausted, are limited or unavailable.

Applications for the new funding cycle are now available.  This new cycle replaces the fall/winter cycle and allows grantees to implement funded projects for an entire school year.  Applications must be received by CSDB no later than March 21, 2008, 4:00 p.m.  When you click on the appropriate link below, the application will appear on your screen as a Word document.  Save the document to your computer.  Complete the application, print and mail, or submit as an email attachment.  Faxed applications will not be accepted. 

Contact Christine Vidal at CSDB, 719-578-2244, cvidal@csdb.org if you have questions about the application process.  Awards will be made by May 9, 2008.
