The document summarizes a grant proposal to purchase appliances for a life skills program at a school. The district budget cuts have impacted the program infrastructure and appliances are needed to make the popcorn business and teaching life skills more efficient. The $2441.53 Lowe's Toolbox for Education grant, if awarded, would provide a refrigerator, stove, washing machine, dryer and shelving units to help address the lack of resources due to the $5 million budget cut across the district. The document outlines the problem, project description, draft grant application, challenges, progress and questions for feedback on the proposal.
