Disaster Relief Grant Details
Aligning with CSAA mission to help preserve country schools, the Disaster Relief Grant has been developed to help organizations and private owners of restored historical school sites that have been compromised by natural or unforeseen disasters that are uninsured or fall within insurance deductible limits. Disaster Relief Grant is NOT for schoolhouse maintenance, improvements or deterioration. Requests for such will not be accepted.
CSAA has earmarked annual funding that will be distributed annually up to $1000 to help repair sites that have been damaged. Proceeds from the annual conference’s silent auction will help support the fund and will ultimately aid in assisting more distressed schools.
