About the OnPoint Community Builder award

The Community Builder Award aims to provide funding for schools to complete projects that enrich the school, students, and faculty. The award grants four schools a $2,000 prize, while one lucky school—determined by online community votes—receives a $5,000 prize. When selecting finalists, the following criteria are considered:

 

Creativity and community

Will the project inspire creativity and strengthen the sense of community?

Broad segment

Will the project reach a broad segment of the school community?

Matching cost

Can the project be completed with the $2,000 or $5,000 Community Builder Award? If not, what is the plan to raise any outstanding funds needed?
