Teacher Grants

Teacher Grants Program
The Wake Forest Area Chamber of Commerce supports our local schools through a Teacher Grants Program. All public schools in the Wake Forest area are eligible. The Chamber’s Education Task Force works with the Trentini Foundation in selecting grant recipients. Teachers need to only fill out one grant application to be considered for either grant.

In 2008, The Trentini Foundation awarded seven grants, totaling almost $9,000. The Chamber awarded seven grants, totaling nearly $5,000.
