Our Bucket Fillers Team has compiled the following list of grant opportunities to help schools and non-profit organizations seek financial assistance in order to become a Bucketfilling School/Organization through our unique and positive programs.
In addition to the grants listed below, check with other national philanthropic groups or large business corporations (i.e. McDonald’s, Burger King, Kroger, Publix, Home Depot, Lowe’s, etc.). Check with various national service organizations such as: Kiwanis, Knights of Columbus, Lions, Masonic, Optimist, Rotary, etc. Also, check with local businesses via your chamber of commerce or school business partners, who support character development and bully prevention training, as offered through our presentations, books, and products.
Our school presentations also come with a great fundraising opportunity in which you can earn 30% of your group book sales, which may cover a significant part of your investment.
Each calendar year, Bucket Fillers, Inc. will give away four $500 scholarships to schools. These scholarships help make it possible for schools to purchase a bucketfilling presentation with our presenter team and/or bucketfilling books and products for use at your school.
