Community Grants
Each year in our Community Grants program, Friends of Ingraham manages multiple grant cycles. In the 24-25 school year we will have 3 cycles - October, January, and April. Teachers and staff are encouraged to submit grant requests which are evaluated by the FOI Board and Principal Floe, and then voted on by FOI Members.
The Community Grants are entirely funded by donations from IHS families and community members. If you would like to learn more about Friends of Ingraham Community Grants, reach out to FOI VP Mary Power at foigrants@gmail.com
