Inspiring Educational Leadership and Commitment
Our goal is to strive for excellence in education by creating opportunities for educators to pilot innovative teaching practices or cutting edge programs that advance the curriculum goals of the district.
The Clipper Foundation Funding Priorities
The Clipper Foundation has identified the following priorities for evaluating grant proposals. Preference will be given to proposals that:
Create programs that are innovative and connect to the curriculum
Explore new teaching practices
Include experiential, cross-disciplinary, or multi-grade learning experiences
Build community connections
Enable clear and demonstrable growth in student learning
Achieve goals that are aligned with SAU 50 and 52
Create programs that have the potential to be replicated and benefit the school or district rather than a single classroom
