The Community Foundation of Muncie and Delaware County, Inc. has announced that the following Robert P. Bell grants totaling $983 have been awarded to local teachers for the fourth grant cycle of the 2011-2012 academic year. It is estimated that over 236 Delaware County students will benefit from these grants.
Ball State Professor Pam Harwood recalls an
urgent note she received last year that was cosigned by a Muncie grandmother and grandson. “It said,
‘Please hurry up!’” says Harwood, whose architecture students were putting
finishing touches on the new Tot Spot exhibit at the Muncie Children’s Museum. From
concept to construction, the project had spanned several semesters, and
anticipation was high as the November grand opening approached. “We knew the
community was waiting for us,” explains Harwood. “That was a real incentive.”
Nineteen grants totaling $413,300 have been awarded to local nonprofit agencies and groups in the Foundation’s first competitive grant cycle of 2012.
