Donor Name: Portland General Electric Foundation
State: Oregon
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 04/07/2023
Details:
Foundation supports programs that promote arts and culture engagement, because they create an environment that values critical thinking, problem-solving and self-efficacy. They know that students who have creative experiences are more inclined to actively engage in classroom discussions, offer their own ideas and appreciate the ideas of others. These skills serve as a springboard for students to build the socio-emotional skills necessary to succeed in today’s workplace.
If you’re interested in submitting a proposal for a creative expression program, consider:
- Curriculum that offers access to sequential arts learning
- Programs that promote youth development using creative expression to foster social emotional skills crucial to becoming active contributors to their community
- Arts and cultural programs integrated into classroom curriculum that promotes innovation and creativity, while also enhancing literacy and math aptitude
