From our pals at MyClassNeeds:

RBC Fund deadline is March 31st!

Following a successful pilot program in the Spring of 2015, RBC Foundation and MyClassNeeds have brought back and expanded the RBC Fund program. The program is now available to projects from any school in the Southwestern Ontario region.

The program provides grants of materials/services up to a maximum of $1000 per project (before taxes, shipping and fees).

To qualify, projects must clearly indicate how they will look at urban water issues and/or environmental sustainability. A preference will be given to projects that increase knowledge and awareness about water management in our cities and towns, and/or that take part to promote environmental sustainability and to protect water in local communities, towns and cities.

For the second year My Class Needs and RBC will run this program that provides additional resources for teachers in southwestern Ontario. MyClassNeeds.ca and RBC have the ability to impact the ‘Think Local and Act National” philosophy of both organizations as well as teachers and students across Canada.
