In celebration of SICO’s 75th anniversary, this grant was created to give back to the education community through a donation of up to $75,000 worth of SICO® tables to one Minnesota school. This grant is exclusively available to Minnesota schools only. For decades, SICO® has partnered with schools across the state to help create learning environments that are flexible, efficient, and built to last. From classrooms and cafeterias to performance and multi-purpose spaces, educators rely on SICO’s space-saving, mobile, and durable furniture solutions to support collaboration, adaptability, and student engagement.

Along with completing the application below, schools are encouraged—but not required—to submit a short video (up to 5 minutes) sharing their school’s story and how updated furniture could positively impact their learning environment. If you would like to submit a video, please indicate this within the application, and we will provide a secure link for uploading your video. Video submissions will be considered as part of the overall application review.

The selected recipient must agree to responsibly discard or recycle existing cafeteria furniture being replaced. SICO® will coordinate delivery and installation of the donated furniture at the winning school location(s).
