Our Grants

The foundation awarded over $51,000 in total grants to Central Kitsap School District students and staff over the 2022-23 and 2023-24 school years.
The Paul Linder Educational Foundation grants are designed to fund unique equipment and materials to expand learning in and beyond classrooms with students and staff of Central Kitsap School District. All grant funded purchases will remain the property of Central Kitsap School District.
Although grants for the 24-25 school year have already been awarded, feel free to familiarize yourself with the application requirements below.

STEP TWO
Write a concise description of your proposal (300-500 words). Be sure to include how your proposal will benefit your classroom, school and/or community. You will need to either copy/paste or type this into our form.
STEP THREE
Develop a line-item budget so the committee can see how the grant money will be spent. Be sure to include tax and shipping costs. If an item you are purchasing is on sale, report total cost as the item may not be on sale when the grant money is awarded. You will need to create a PDF copy of your line item budget.
STEP FOUR
