Open MUSIC AND SCIENCE

The Texaco Foundation supports early childhood education in public schools through music and science grants for preK through 2nd grade. Its Early Notes grant program promotes school-based projects that integrate music into curriculum. Applications must include a proposal detailing the project's goals and outlining who it will serve and the roles of collaborating partners. The Touch Science program supports school partnerships with museums, aquariums, and other institutions that promote interactive learning, exploration, and discovery. Applications should include a summary of the project along with its history, recent annual report, operating budget, and corporate support. Both grants award from $25,000 to $100,000 for one, two, or three years. Grants are awarded nationwide, but organizations located near Texaco facilities in the following areas receive special consideration, especially if the projects involve Texaco employees: Westchester County, New York; Midland, Texas; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Bakersfield, California; New Orleans; Houston; and Washington, D.C.
