Mary Duke Biddle Foundation
Category: Regional
DescriptionThe Foundation works to encourage, promote, and nurture the arts and K-12 educational communities in Chatham, Durham, Orange, and Wake counties in North Carolina. The Foundation’s K-12 Education Program will award grants of up to $10,000 in support of new in-school and out-of-school programs for underserved K-12 students that provide innovative, creative, and effective approaches to teaching and learning, with a focus on programs that address the opportunity gap these students can experience. Priority will be given for programs that provide academic proficiency in English/language arts, STEM/STEAM subjects’ history, government, and civics; grade-level reading proficiency; digital literacy; project-based learning; experiential learning, and other hands-on learning opportunities; comprehensive student success to help students prepare for college or career; and professional development opportunities for educators in those areas. The Arts Education Program funds projects that provide opportunities for underserved K-12 students to participate directly and meaningfully in the arts. All arts disciplines – music, dance, theater, visual, and digital/photography/filmmaking – are eligible. Before submitting a letter of inquiry, potential applicants are invited to schedule a 30-minute phone call with the executive director to discuss the project. The deadline is for arts grants. Additional information can be found on the Web site.
