> Deadline: October 17, 2008
> The Lowe's Toolbox for Education grant program, an initiative of
> the Lowe's Charitable and Educational Foundation
> (http://lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=pg&p=AboutLowes/Community),
> is dedicated to supporting parent-teacher groups at schools
> across the United States.
> Any individual nonprofit public K-12 school or parent group as-
> sociated with a nonprofit public K-12 school is eligible to apply.
> Parent groups that are applying (PTO, PTA, etc.) must have an
> independent tax ID number and official 501(c)(3) status from the
> IRS. Groups without this status should apply through their school.
> Pre-schools are not eligible at this time. Applicant schools must
> be more than two years old.
> The grant program gives preference for funding requests that have
> a permanent impact such as facility enhancement (both indoor and
> outdoor) as well as landscaping/clean-up projects. Projects that
> encourage parent involvement and build stronger community spirit
> are encouraged.
> Up to $5,000 per school is available. In order to apply, the re-
> quested grant amount must be between $2,000 and $5,000. Lowe's
> will donate $5 million to schools and school parent teacher groups
> at more than 1,000 different schools during the school year.
> The Fall 2008 deadline for submitting applications is October 17,
> 2008. However, if 1,500 applications are received before the
> application deadline, the application process will close.

> and sample projects.
