OAKE Leaf Fund Grants
The OAKE Leaf Fund provides funding to support educational and charitable activities in accordance with the purpose of the organization. Awards may be granted to the organization itself, Divisions or affiliated Chapters of the organization, endorsed educational programs, or to members for special projects or research. Chapter workshops are ineligible for funding.
FALL 2024: The OAKE Leaf Fund will be accepting applications for grants in the amount of up to $300 for OAKE Chapters who program activities or events that foster a sense of COMMUNITY among area teachers (please note these grants are NOT for workshops themselves, but for activities or events that build community):
- Submit an application by December 1.
- Include a budget (OAKE Leaf will pay up to $300 per accepted application). Grant applications will be notified in December.
- Plan to have your grant project completed by May 31 to receive reimbursement.
- Share about your project! We’ll publish your updates in the Kodály Envoy. The hope is to inspire other Chapters and learn from each others’ wins and challenges.
