The Steele-Reese Foundation is a charitable trust supporting rural communities in Idaho, Montana, and Appalachian Kentucky. In the Appalachian Kentucky Grant Program, The Steele-Reese Foundation is limiting its 2025 grant-making to:
The highest priority of the Appalachian Kentucky Grant Program is ensuring that children leave the third-grade able to read and write on grade level; and that children leaving middle school can perform mathematics on grade level. Additional priorities include improving school libraries, providing supplemental materials to aid learning; elementary, middle, and high school programs that improve outcomes for students; support of literacy programs and out-of-school services. At this time, we are not funding higher education or adult education programs. All proposals must be specific in identifying a rationale for funding, set out clear steps for execution of the work, and articulate measurable outcomes.
Next Steps
Again, if you have any questions or need assistance, contact Appalachian Director Judy Owens.
