The Cornhusker Motor Club Foundation is offering grant opportunities to assist Nebraska K-12 educators.  Funding opportunities include traditional grants in amounts up to $2,000 and specialty grants up to $500.  Earlier this year, the Foundation awarded nearly $20,000 to Nebraska schools.  By the year’s end, the Foundation plans to award an additional $60,000.  The grants are designed to fund innovative programs, school events, community volunteerism efforts, or projects that will significantly enhance the students’ classroom experience.  Any employee of a public, private, or parochial school, grades K-12 in Nebraska may apply for a grant.  The online application period ends October 10, 2015.  Grants will be awarded in November and December 2015.  More details, along with a list of the most recent award winning schools, can be found at CornhuskerFoundation.org.  Funded largely by AAA and its members, the mission of the Foundation is to enhance the quality of life of the citizens of Nebraska by identifying and addressing their needs in the areas of highway safety, state tourism, education and crime prevention.
