What our grants cover
What our grants do not cover
Who is eligible for a grant?
Babies, children, and students in SKY’s three counties — Houghton, Baraga, and Keweenaw — are eligible to receive grant support. Students are eligible up to and including high school graduation.
SKY does not have financial or need-based criteria. We trust the educators and other recommenders to help us be good stewards of our donations.
Who can apply for a grant?
Teachers, educational staff, and other designated human services personnel are able to apply for grants on behalf of individual students. We trust our frontline partners to identify student needs, receive and spend the grant dollars, and provide receipts to SKY. Unfortunately, we do not accept applications directly from students or families.
Friendly reminder: Please use your professional guidelines regarding confidentiality when submitting a SKY grant request.
