Monday's Grants
As we all know, women play so many roles, we're mothers, we're daughters, we're friends, we're wives, we're amazing! One of my roles is that of a social worker. I've been a stay at home mom for the past 5 years and I have loved it! But during that time, I also continued my education and received my Master's in Social Work. I really believe that I was put on this earth to make a difference in people's lives and be a change agent. In order to provide change as a social worker, you often need funding! I keep updated on grants and funding that is available and I thought since I'm doing the research anyway, I might as well share my found information with individuals or groups who could also use it. So I've decided to start Monday's Grants. I will post grants weekly that may be useful to nonprofits, groups, teachers, individuals and more. Many grants will be RFP's (Request for Proposals), but I will try to include a selection of different grants. Enjoy!
Build-A-Bear Workshop Foundation
Deadline: October 28, 2011
Amount: Up to $10,000
Build-A-Bear Workshop® believes in the teddy bear philosophy of being good people and good bears. In living those values, we provide grants through the Build-A-Bear Workshop Foundation and the Build-A-Bear Workshop Bear Hugs Foundation to 501(c)(3) public charities or registered Canadian charities that support beary special causes, such as children's health and wellness, animals, and literacy and education.
Children's Health & Wellness
We desire to provide direct support for children in the areas of health and wellness such as childhood disease research foundations, child safety organizations and organizations that serve children with special needs. Our goal is to provide grants to help many programs that are working hard to make the world a healthier and happier place for kids.
These grants are funded through the sale of Champ – A Champion Fur Kids. One dollar from the sale of Champ bear is donated through the Build-A-Bear Workshop Bear Hugs Foundation to children's health and wellness causes throughout the United States and Canada.
