The Ann Bancroft Foundation Grant Application is open to any K – 12th grade Minnesota resident who identifies as a girl, including those who identify as cisgender, transgender, gender non-conforming, and gender non-binary people.
Donor Name: Ann Bancroft Foundation
State: Minnesota
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 10/01/2022
Size of the Grant: $500
Details:
Grants are available to fund art, cultural, leadership, educational, outdoors/wilderness experiences, sport, athletic, dance equipment, or participation fees. Given the increased requirements for technology due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they are also funding technology equipment and technology access for the aforementioned activities. The experiences the Ann Bancroft Foundation Grant supports help applicants begin to explore the outside world around them through the lens of recognizing their own abilities, values, and strengths and provide them with the opportunity to be part of a team, build strength and confidence and push themselves farther.
Funding Information
Grant requests may not exceed $500 total. The activity may cost more than $500, but $500 is the maximum grant request amount.
Eligibility Criteria
- All applications will need to be completed online by the applicant, mentor, and parent/guardian.
- Each applicant must have an adult mentor who will guide the applicant through the application process and if funded, the registration process for the activity. The mentor cannot be a family member (not the girl’s parent, guardian, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, grandmother, or grandfather), the activity provider, or an employee of the activity provider.
- Applications must be completed by both applicant and mentor, and the application must be signed by a parent/guardian of the applicant.
- An applicant may only apply for one ABF grant – grants are awarded only once in a lifetime. Former grant recipients cannot apply for another ABF grant, but any grant applicant who was previously declined may (and is encouraged to) re-apply for a grant.
- Group applications will not be considered. Each grant applicant must apply as an individual.
- The activity being funded must be completed by high school graduation. Please note that ABF will not fund activities that take place the summer after graduation.
- The grant check will be written and sent directly to the activity provider as listed in the application in early June (spring grant cycle) or early December (fall grant cycle).
- Each grantee and mentor will be required to complete a grant follow-up survey after completion of the activity.
