The competition was fierce, the battles epic, but today we got the letter.
SideWalk Chalk is the proud recipient of the 2009 Blackbaud Grant. Last December we applied for the $5,000 grant to help us provide our "SideWalk Writes the Future" program in one of Charleston County's Title 1 Schools. After reviewing our application, and having a Grants Committee come see the program in action, Blackbaud awarded us the full $5,000.
In August of '09 SideWalk Chalk will more than double the number of schools we partner with to help students discover their voice and platform for expression, and we could not do that without private donations, grants, and loads of volunteers. So thank you, Blackbaud and the Coastal Community Foundation for believing in our mission, not only with words but with checkbooks too!
