Secure a Safe Passage on these Stormy Seas

The various vessels that embark on the roiling sea of education will encounter the vicissitudes of an ever-changing course.  Should economic storms brew, the following grant sources can lead you to a safe harbor:    Toshiba America Foundation The foundation makes grants to support teaching of mathematics and science. For Grades 6-12, applications for grants of less than $5,000 are accepted on an ongoing basis. Requests for more than $5,000 must be submitted by February 1 or August 1.    Toyota Tapestry Grants (Science Teachers - NSTA) Grants will go to teams of teachers who have developed innovative programs that have enhanced science education. Toyota will award 50 grants of $10,000. The deadline to apply is February 23.    Ashland Community Foundation Each year, approximately half of Ashland's contributions target education-related activities. The support covers a wide range of quality education and lifelong learning projects.    Eli Lilly Foundation The Eli Lilly Foundation is working to improve student performance in math and science in Grades K-12 in the United States. There is a heavy focus on Indiana, the company's home.    Lawrence Foundation The Lawrence Foundation is focused on making grants to support environmental, education, human services, and other causes. Deadlines are April 30 and November 5.    Teacher's Pet (grant tip geared specifically toward teachers' smaller projects) Lowe's Toolbox for Education This grant recognizes the need to increase focus on basic, one-time project needs.
