Past COAHSI Arts in Education Regrants
In the past, COAHSI has awarded the GAINS Award, created to recognize outstanding arts programs in schools, and Wish List Grants, small grants for schools and educators to support the creation of arts-centered learning experiences in schools. These programs were supported by The Staten Island Foundation, which is currently funding the Arts Investment Regrants for Schools, COAHSI’s largest Arts in Education grants to date.
