Deadline: 11-Mar-21
The Chintimini Fund of Oregon Community Foundation has been announced that supports programs for high-potential students – including those identified as talented and gifted (TAG) – at schools and other community organizations in Douglas, Benton, Lane, Linn, Tillamook and Lincoln counties.
The Fund encourages programs that inspire and motivate “bright but bored” students who are not fully engaged by existing school programs.
The OCF is pleased to offer school districts an opportunity to apply for a grant to fund in-school or extracurricular programs that provide enrichment opportunities for high-potential students and other children who show a capacity for high achievement.
