“1. Hands-on learning grants: every spring we award at least 10,000 in small grants (up to 3,000 each) to ras staff who apply for a hands-on learning grant. The funding for these grants comes primarily from the staff charitable giving campaign in the fall. Our generous staff make a donation to seven dreams from their paychecks throughout the year, or through a one-time donation. Their generosity comes full circle since all of this money is used to fund staff grants for projects in their schools. 2. Support district-wide initiatives: every year, the seven dreams education foundation works collaboratively with robbinsdale area schools' district administrators to create a large district-wide initiative that will impact many students. The foundation chooses one initiative to fund through proceeds from the bird bash gala event. Initiatives have included a mental health program for k-8th grades and a multicultural book project to buy 2,500 electronic and print books for the middle and high school media centers that are culturally relevant and inclusive of everyone's story.”
