Educational Mini-Grants are grants for amounts up to $500 given to public schools in the communities we serve to fund educational projects. Since its inception in 2000, more than 1,300 mini-grants, totaling over $590,000, have been awarded.
Cape Cod Community College offer open access to high quality, affordable academic programs, including associate degree and certificate programs. They are committed to excellence in teaching and learning and provide academic preparation for transfer to four-year institutions, career preparation for entry into high demand occupational fields, developmental coursework, and lifelong learning opportunities.
The Cape Cod Foundation is a community foundation that exists to strengthen and enrich our communities by building resources and then investing those resources back into the community. They also facilitate the Institute for Nonprofit Practice (INP) locally. INP’s Core Certificate Program on Cape Cod equips and supports senior leaders to develop solutions to real-world challenges and identify and break down barriers, while building deep relationships and fostering meaningful collaboration.
In 2021, Cape Cod 5 entered into a new strategic partnership with EVERFI, a technology company that aims to drive social change through digital education. Through this partnership, Cape Cod 5 makes available to our local schools at no cost interactive web based courses geared towards middle and/or high school students that focus on financial literacy, diversity and inclusion and health and wellness.
FitMoney is a philanthropic nonprofit Cape Cod 5 works with to provide free, unbiased financial literacy programs to help K-12 students in our communities develop life skills for a financially fit future.
