The Student Wellbeing Action Grant (SWAG) application is now open
Need a little extra support to bring your Action Plan to life?
The SWAG is a small grant designed to help Living Ripples schools respond to a specific, identified need that has emerged through the survey and action planning process. While many schools have a wellbeing budget, we understand it doesn’t always cover everything that’s needed.
The SWAG is intended to contribute a portion of the total cost of your initiative – helping to close the gap and make meaningful wellbeing actions possible.
