The contact person was very helpful. They could not fund my whole request and she worked with me to cut it down to what they could afford.

One major goal of the grant is to have students develop critical thinking and creative problem - solving skills. Examples of this growth could be included on the website for grant making. Surveys to measure outcomes could also be personal, social, moral and academic growth related to the grantmaking goals.
Articles in the Racine Journal Times would be examples of the value of the Racine Community Foundation .
The rate of accessibility is extremely high. They will provide you with the Application Form. If you have any question regarding the form, feel free to call the office of the Racine Community Foundation.
The funder has six questions from the Racine Community Foundation. It is valuable to gather the data about the questions throughout the year to be able to respond for the qualitative and quantitative information regarding the six questions at the end of the year. As such, it is very helpful to gather information data through statistics, testimonials , interviews and survey results each quarter. It is also important to address your evaluation plan and use the results for the next quarter. The focus is on the Racine Community Foundation's mission to enhance the quality of life for people of Racine County. The success of the program can be helpful with students'
