Each year, through our IHS Community Grants program, Friends of Ingraham manages multiple grant cycles.
In the 25-26 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 Elvig, and then voted on by FOI Members.
The Community Grants are entirely funded by donations from IHS families and community members.
