The Webster Groves School District Foundation is dedicated to a tradition of academic excellence by expanding innovative dynamic learning opportunities that impact student success.
GRANTS
The Webster Groves School District Foundation provides mini, major and alumni grants for innovative, creative, dynamic, learning experiences that have a powerful impact on student learning and sucess. Projects that are progressive and/or innovative to the WGSD are given special consideration. The purpose is to support worthwhile programs or projects that would not otherwise be funded by the Webster Groves School District.
Please view the grant applications and instruction page under the grants tab to review the process. It is reccomended to complete a preliminary grant application before submitting a formal grant application.
We have a new schedule of awarding grants. We will continue to award mini grants (max of $1,000 per grant) throughout the year. These grants will be awarded in September, October, January, February and March. New this year is to award Major Grants two times a year (up to $5,000 per grant). Once in November, and then again in April. This will give grant applicants an opportunity to execute larger ideas into their curriculum during the school year by now offering a Fall Major Grant in November and a Spring Major Grant in April.
