 Applications
for the final period of 2017 will be accepted between November 1, 2017
and December 31, 2017. Winners will be announced by the end of January.
Previous applicants who applied during the April 2017 and September 2017
windows and were not awarded funds will automatically have their submissions
re-entered for further consideration.
“Amazing
things are happening through this program,” said Jason Abelkop. “The applications
clearly demonstrate that The Krystal Foundation is making a direct impact
on schools and students. Already we’ve been able to provide new musical
instruments, football helmets, a new completely outfitted science lab,
computer education, nutrition and meal planning programs, and a 3D printer
all possible for our previous deserving grant winners. We can’t wait to
see what this next round will yield.”
Those
wishing to apply for a Squaring is Caring grant may do so by visiting www.thekrystalfoundation.com.
Teachers, principals, school faculty, PTO/PTA groups, other K-12 school-affiliated
organizations and non-profit organizations are all eligible to apply. Grant
winners will be announced on or near January 29, 2018.
“There’s
no such thing as a too-small need,” Abelkop made sure to point out. “If
it matters to your school or your community, then it matters to Krystal.
We’re here to support everything from basic school needs to innovative
new programs, and we encourage everyone in our communities to apply.”
