OUR WORK
Grants
In 2017, HEARTS was thrilled to award grants totaling over $50,000 to enrich art, music, theater, and writing programming throughout the Port Washington School District. Due to the generosity of our community and the amazing creativity of PWSD teachers and administrators, children of all ages experienced the joy of writing and playing new music, visiting NYC museums and Broadway workshops, joining an after school musical theater club, singing in a glee club, meeting successful professional artists, musicians and authors, and more. See the complete list of grants HERE. For photos, click HERE.
ANNOUNCING HEARTS GRANT CYCLE CHANGE!!!
HEARTS is excited to announce that we are making a change in timing to our grant cycle. HEARTS will be transitioning our grant cycle to coincide with the school year rather than the calendar year. We hope this allows for easier and more flexible planning for applicants! During this transition period, we will continue to fund HEARTS’ core and district-wide programs listed below. Please stay tuned for our grant application which will be available on our website in early winter 2018 for programming that will take place in the 2018-2019 school year. If you have any questions, please contact HEARTS at [email protected].
