To parents, teachers, principals, volunteers, environmentalists, and other interested parties: You can register to win cool Toonies prizes like t-shirts, CDs, videos, frisbeez, and even a LIVE Toonies ENVIRO-Show for your school, city or neighborhood! Simply look through the giving foundations listed below (click here), and see if your school or city event might qualify for grant funding.

All of these foundations ONLY give grant money directly to schools, neighborhood events, etc. All you have to do is ask.  Contact the foundation organization of your choice to find out how easy it is to apply for a funding grant. Then fill out our form to complete your registration.

Perhaps your school or city has some ideas and events you’re already planning. Our ‘gift’ offer applies for those events too! Just contact the people in charge of those events, tell them about The ENVIRO-Show and how they can access foundation funding to help, fill out the form and submit.  Thanks!

We recognize the extraordinary task educators face everyday and we wish budget concerns weren't an issue. We also realize that's not the case.  Part of The Toonies' mission is to help educators find the resources they need to bring quality programs to their schools. 

It is with this commitment in mind we offer an idea page with links to some of these grants that may aid your efforts to bring The Toonies' quality presentations to your school this year.

Receiving many of these grants is a simple and easy process. Just fill out their form and send it in.  If you have questions, feel free to call The Toonies and if we don't know, we'll help you find the answer. The Toonies may also be able to help find matching funds.  952.933.3438

At present, we've researched grants and other sponsors regarding our ENVIRO-Show. Call your city's 'recycling coordinator' and/or your county's 'waste management' dept.  The Toonies have often performed in  schools courtesy of these environmental leaders.  Other sponsorship dollars can be secured through environmental grants such as the ones listed below. Many of these require the school to submit the form, so we can do all but fill it out and send it in.  You'd be surprised how easy it is...

Grants to bring The Character & Values show to your school are still being researched. If YOU have any ideas, please let us know.
