School or School District GrantsThe David Lynch Foundation provides funding for schools that offer children in grades 6 through 12 the opportunity to learn the Transcendental Meditation (TM) program as part of a whole school, twice-daily, morning and afternoon, Quiet Time session. Students who do not wish to learn the TM program are offered an alternative Quiet Time activity, which is not funded by the David Lynch Foundation.
