Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Seeks Education Proposals for Innovation Fund
Deadline: October 15, 2004

The Innovation Fund of the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation (<a href="http://jackkentcookefoundation.org/">http://jackkentcookefoundation.org/</a>) provides grants to spark the creation or expansion of innovative educational programs in a particular field each year.

This year, the foundation requests proposals from non-remedial, out-of-school programs in critical reading and/or writing for elementary and/or middle school students. Programs must serve low-to-moderate-income students in the United States and should be designed to help students build high-level reading and/or written communication skills to help them excel in rigorous academic environments as they mature.

Up to three grants of $100,000 to $200,000 will be awarded in spring 2005.

To be eligible for this program, applicant organizations must be 501(c)(3) public charities. Submissions are welcome from anywhere in the United States. The foundation encourages applications from rural communities, small towns, and other underserved areas.

Additional details and the submission form are available on the foundation’s Web site.
