Up to $1,000 in Funding Available through the Daniel J. Briggs Fund for Integrity of the Community Foundation
WATERTOWN — School districts pursuing grant funding to support character education, social media safety programs, and bullying prevention are encouraged to apply to the Daniel J. Briggs Fund for Integrity of the Northern New York Community Foundation. Up to $1,000 in support is available this year.
The charitable fund was established at the Community Foundation in 2015 to provide resources for key educational programs that raise awareness of bullying in local schools and communities. The fund also supports professional development initiatives to train and educate teachers, faculty, staff, and school administrators about bullying and ways to prevent and identify it. Projects and initiatives that promote leadership development, student responsibility, respect, and trust for the community are key focus areas as well.
