GRANT INFORMATION
Motorola Foundation is
offering Motorola Lincoln Grants to support projects
developed by U.S. civic, educational and cultural
organizations that actively engage the public in the
lessons from Lincoln's life. The grant program will
focus on three themes:
- Bringing history
into the future: Motorola Lincoln Grants will
support individuals or organizations using new
technologies to educate students or their broader
communities - particularly in civics, history,
social studies - or disciplines such as the fine
arts.
Preference will be given to those integrating
lessons from Lincoln's life.
- Engaging in current
events: In recognition of Lincoln's engagement of
the public in shaping policy, Motorola Lincoln
Grants will support programs engaging young people
or community members in national and local public
policy issues and providing creative forums and
innovative tools to facilitate debate and dialogue
in the online and physical worlds.
- Leadership skills:
Lincoln's legacy as an agent of change will be
honored with support of organizations that are
creating change - of perceptions and actions - in
their communities with leadership programs for young
people or the underserved that are based on
collaboration, problem-solving and project
management skills.
