I am trying to find funding to support a minority swim lesson program.  The participating school is a private parochial school that has 100% minority enrollment, serving an economically underserved population, through their own local grants and endowments.  I am already subsidizing the swim lesson program to the extent that I am able, but we have started to loose participants and they are noting cost as the reason.  I believe it is also a cultural issue and the lack of interest toward water safety among these African-American parents is an equal/greater contributing factor.  If I can find a grant or benefactor to cover the remaining cost, I can continue this program.

Can anyone recommend a source(s) of funding?  I did not receive a Make-A-Splash grant (not sure why) and I plan to apply again in 2012, but this program may not make through 2012.
