About the OnPoint Community Builder Award
The goal of the Community Builder award is to provide funding for schools to complete a project that is enriching to the school, students and faculty. The award provides four schools with a $2,000 prize, while one lucky school, determined by online community votes, will receive a $5,000 prize. In considering which applications will be selected as finalists, the following criteria is considered:
Creativity and Community
Will the project inspire creativity and foster 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, and if not, what is the plan to raise any outstanding funds needed?
Who Is Eligible?
OnPoint accepts project applications for the Community Builder awards from public, private or charter K-12 schools in the counties of Benton, Clackamas, Columbia, Crook, Deschutes, Jefferson, Lane, Linn, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Washington and Yamhill counties in Oregon, and Clark and Skamania counties in Washington.
