The InSPIREation Foundation Announces Financial Literacy Grant Opportunities

SPIRE Credit Union - FALCON HEIGHTS, Minn. - The InSPIREation Foundation (InSPIRE) has grant opportunities for funding financial literacy focused projects.  An application, including measurable goals, and a detailed budget, must be submitted through the InSPIRE portal for consideration.  InSPIRE offers two grant cycles per year. The next application deadline is April 30, 2021. 
 
The InSPIREation Foundation (formerly Kentron) traces its roots back to September 29, 1938 when an organization called the Group Health Association (GHA) was incorporated.  Today, InSPIRE strives to fund meaningful financial literacy efforts that empower individuals and transform communities through knowledge, skills, and responsible decision making to attain financial freedom.
 
“We are excited about the re-developed mission of the InSPIREation Foundation, and a commitment to funding financial literacy initiatives,” said Bridget Petersen, SPIRE MVP of Community Outreach and InSPIRE Director, “Their vision mirrors SPIRE’s belief that it is our duty to teach financial and other related skills necessary to be successful and thrive throughout life.”   
 
About InSPIREation Foundation: The InSPIREation Foundation (formerly Kentron) traces its roots back to September 29, 1938 when an organization called the Group Health Association (GHA) was incorporated. The mission of GHA was, “to engage in activities for the promotion of health and well-being of its members through education.”  To further GHA's mission, the Kentron Foundation was formed in 2002 to provide grants to organizations that promote whole healthy persons through wellness of mind, body, and spirit.  In 2019, the Foundation’s mission was refined to funding meaningful financial literacy efforts that empower individuals and transform communities through knowledge, skills, and responsible decision making to attain financial freedom.  To learn more about the InSPIREation Foundation and access the grant application, please visit www.inspireation.org.
