Each year through our IHS Community Grants program, Friends of Ingraham manages multiple grant cycles.

In the 24-25 school year we will have 3 cycles - October, January, and April. Teachers and staff are encouraged to submit grant requests which are evaluated by the FOI Board and Principal Floe, and then voted on by FOI Members. 

The Community Grants are entirely funded by donations from IHS families and community members.

During Friends of Ingraham’s first Community Grants cycle for the 24-25 school year, we received 25 requests for funding. FOI granted over $23,000 for projects and programs to fill funding gaps and enhance the educational experience of all of our children!
