Airborne Expands Teacher Trust Fund Program for School Art and Music Programs
Deadline: Rolling
Airborne, Inc. ( http://www.airbornehealth.com/ ) has announced
that it is tripling the number of states now eligible to receive
funds through the Airborne Teacher Trust Fund
( http://www.airbornetrust.com/ ). The announcement follows a
strong response from the pilot program, which saw twenty-five
teachers in five states receive grants totaling more than $78,000.
Airborne established the Airborne Teacher Trust Fund, a nonprofit
charitable corporation, to fund art and music programs in elemen-
tary and middle schools that are in jeopardy of being lost or
have already been eliminated due to budgetary limitations.
The fund awarded its initial grants to elementary and middle-
school teachers in California, Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts,
and Missouri.
The ten new eligible states are Alabama, Arizona, Mississippi,
Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Tennessee,
and Utah. The company plans to award a total of $250,000 in
grants for the 2006-07 school year.
Elementary and middle-school teachers in the eligible states
wishing to apply for grants should visit the Airborne Teacher
Trust Fund Web site for program details and application infor-
mation.
