Apply for Student Funding

Whatcom CARE has grant funds to support students in K-12 public schools in Whatcom County who are taking the initiative to create more inclusive, multicultural, and anti-racist spaces in their schools.

Funds can potentially be used to cover the costs of hosting a club meeting or event, such as for food or overhead costs, materials needed for a student-led project, books, or for compensating guest speakers. 

For younger students, this form can also be filled out by a parent or teacher or other school staff member on their behalf.
