Deadline: 30-Sep-22
Real Insurance is accepting applications for Real School Grants Program to help aid school funding to schools and school groups/ committees across Australia.
Challenges
- To apply for the Real School Grant Program, you will need to write a long form description (maximum 650 words) on what your school would do with the allocated grant, and how it will benefit your school and/or community.
- They are looking for submissions that reflect a real desire to improve the quality of school resources and communities. It doesn’t have to be great prose, just honest and from the heart, so start thinking about the reasons why and how your nominated school would utilise the Real School Grant.
- Each entry that is submitted, must align to one or more of the Real Insurance company values;
- Health – clearly provide intent and evidence of planned work(s) that would promote the health of the intended beneficiaries. Where past works have been concluded, please include as evidence in your submission.
- Learning & Development – clearly outline the plan of learning or research outcome that would lead to an improved outcome and development.
- Information & Technology – provide a justified summary of a current lack of access to information and/or technology (including online/remote learning tools) that would prove highly useful for intended beneficiaries.
- Community & Infrastructure – clearly provide intent and evidence of planned work(s) that would promote a positive or improved outcome for the intended beneficiaries. Where past works have been concluded, please include as evidence in your submission.
