Farm News: Apply For Ag Literacy Grants - Quickly!

comments

Posted: 10.12.2010

This Friday is the deadline for any group that's concentrating their efforts on helping kids understand where their food comes from!

The Wisconsin Ag in the Classroom is accepting applications for the 2011 White-Reinhardt mini-grants and teacher scholarships through October 15.
The Mini-Grant Program funds projects that will increase agricultural literacy.  County and state Farm Bureaus may apply for grants of up to $500 for classroom education programs for grades K-12 to initiate new programs or expand existing programs to additional grade levels or new subject areas.  Grants are available on a competitive basis.

 
The National Agriculture in the Classroom Conference Educator Scholarship program is to provide travel expense funds to educators employed by a school system to attend the national conference and then use the information gained to expand their outreach to students regarding food, fiber and fuel.  Educators employed by a school system and working in grades K-12 who have demonstrated involvement in agricultural literacy programs are eligible to apply.
 
Specific guidelines and deadlines for the application process can be found on each application. Go to the Foundation’s web site, www.agfoundation.org under What We Support to download an application. Applications must be sent to Wisconsin Farm Bureau by October 15 and will then be forwarded to the American Farm Bureau for review. Direct the applications to Darlene Arneson, WFBF, PO Box 5550, Madison, WI 53705.
 
The White-Reinhardt Fund for Education is a special project of the Foundation in cooperation with the AFB Women’s Leadership Committee.  It was established to honor two former chairs of that committee, Berta White and Linda Reinhardt, who were leaders in the national effort to improve agricultural literacy.
