Each year the Rapid City Public School Foundation fundraises to support our grants program. The Foundation seeks to provide monetary support for RCAS staff and students to develop new programs through educational partnerships and innovative solutions. The grants program is designed to encourage and support the execution of the RCAS Strategic Plan Priorities. Our grant guidelines align with the Rapid City Area Schools’ mission to “challenge, engage, and empower students to thrive in their future in a diverse world.”
