Grant Request
Guidelines and Application
Timeline
- Grant proposal deadlines occur twice per school year, on October 31 and February 28.
- Proposals will be reviewed at the next regular Foundation meeting immediately following the proposal deadline. These typically occur the second week of each month.
- After review, trustees will reach out to potential awardees to invite further discussion, if needed, or to impart award decisions. This communication should occur within one month of the October 31 or February 28 deadlines.
Proposal Guidelines
Requests will be reviewed using the following criteria.
Does the proposed initiative:
- Improve educational opportunities and/or academic performance of students in the district?
- Benefit a sufficiently broad cross-section of students?
- Offer benefits to students not currently being met through other means?
- Fall outside an expense category typically covered by the annual school budget?
- Offer some type of measurable outcomes?
The above criteria are general guidelines, and all grants will be considered on their merits on a case-by-case basis. Grants will be awarded contingent upon funding available during each grant cycle.
