OTHER INFORMATION
- GRANT PROPOSALS are anonymously reviewed and awarded by a selection committee of volunteers representing donors to Wake Education Partnership, teachers, parents, community and business leaders, and university professors. Anonymity ensures a fair selection process. For this reason, we ask that you not include any reference that may identify you or your school.
