  <description>&lt;p&gt;100% of the money for the Compassion Grant Program comes from donors, many are former homeschool parents, and others who support educational choice.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We talked about the HSLDA and their core mission of legal defense for homeschool families. Organization is 40-years old. Nearly everyone who works for them homeschool or is a homeschool graduate.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;HSLDA is a membership organization &amp;amp; what it costs. Here is where podcast listeners can apply for curriculum grants: &lt;a href="https://hslda.org/explore/applying-for-a-curriculum-grant" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"&gt;https://hslda.org/explore/applying-for-a-curriculum-grant&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And, Lorraine talks about what the requirements are to apply for the grants. Families receiving funds from the state via an ESA, families are not eligible to apply.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We talked about references needed to apply they can validate the general circumstances of the family apply and that they will use the money towards homeschooling.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All the processes are explained on the HSLDA website via short videos. Or, you can email the Compassion grants team to ask questions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Base amounts in the grants are $300-$400 per homeschool student for core curriculum. HSLDA does not dictate what curriculum you can purchase with thee money. Special needs students and their needs are eligible.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Lorriane &amp;amp; Dianne stressed that you use Google Chrome to apply. That works best for applying for the Compassion Curriculum Grant.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Earliest opportunity to apply is by JUNE 30th! However, if you miss out, we discuss the two other times of the year to apply.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If one’s application is submitted by June 30th of this year, applicants learn if they’ll receive a grant in about 6-weeks, or mid-to-late August.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Applicants can call HSLDA Compassion with questions not found on the website at: 540-338-8688.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Recap of what it costs to join the HSLDA and financial aid available&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How does one donate to the HSLDA to fund the compassion grants.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Over ¼ of the grants distributed the recipients found out about the HSLDA curriculum grants via word of mouth. And, applicants can apply more than once from year-to-year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;HSLDA Compassion Grants Program distributes anywhere between 700-800 grants per year.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;HSLDA can also assist families struggling through natural disasters with grant money, and those families do not need to be HSLDA members. &lt;/p&gt;
