Kid Booster Anonymous Grants
When Naperville 203 mental health professionals or staff identify barriers to a student’s learning, Kid Booster Anonymous Grants offer timely, targeted support.
These grants are designed to meet the unique needs of at-risk students—enhancing their educational experience and supporting their physical and social-emotional well-being. They serve as the “missing link” when no existing family, district, or community resources are available to address an urgent need.
