Lowe’s Toolbox Grants
May 6th, 2008 by Tim SullivanWe couldn’t be more proud of our affiliation with Lowe’s and the Toolbox for Education program or more thankful for Lowe’s support of PTOs and PTAs nationwide. It’s the only comprehensive grant program focused exclusively on the work of school PTO sand PTAs — and Lowe’s has now given millions to groups through this effort.
Here’s just one great Lowe’s giving story from Lynn, MA. These guys built wooden easels for all their teachers thanks to their grant.
Similarly, I was lucky enough to attend a ribbon-cutting for a local playground recently. Lowe’s generously contributed nearly half the funds needed for the build. So great to see a couple of hundred little faces as they surged toward their new school backyard. Very cool.

I have been reading your website onthe toolbox grants. Our city is in dire need of a playscape type system for our city park as our children’s play euipment is so antiquated almost ot the point of being dangerous. Our current fiscal condition does not allow us to budget for any help but I think we could get some of the community members to pitch in and build something appropriate if
we could be supplied the materials. bonnie huett municipal judje city of comanche/ bonniehuett@gmail.com
