ING Run for Something Better Invites Grant Applications for School-Based Running Programs
Deadline: May 15, 2012
Working in partnership with the National Association for Sport and Physical Education, ING will provide a minimum of fifty grants (up to $2,500 to each school) to establish a school-based running program or expand an existing one through the ING Run for Something Better program.
The program is open to elementary and middle schools (K-8) in the United States. Schools must have at least twenty-five students in grades 4- 8 committed to their running program to be eligible. Qualifying running programs must last for at least eight weeks. Programs can take place in physical education class, during recess, before school, after school, or any combination of these. Programs may be facilitated by a physical education teacher, coach, classroom teacher, or school administrator. Programs should culminate in a running event as a final test to help participants realize what they have accomplished.
Awards are available to schools in all fifty states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories, but will be limited to no more than seven recipients per state.
Complete program guidelines, eligibility requirements, and the online application form are available at the ING Run for Something Better Web site.
