Grant Information
How are requests made?
Principals or teachers who identify needs for academic funding not covered by the school budget write grant requests and submit them to the Coalition. To facilitate the grant submission process, a Coalition representative who sits on the Grant Committee acts as a liaison between the Coalition and the school. All grant requests are sent to the Coalition via the assigned rep. If the grant request is for under $2,000, the Grant Committee reviews it; if the request is for $2,000 or more, the rep forwards the request to the Board for review
Grant Application Deadlines
Please send grant requests to your School Rep four or more days before an upcoming Board meeting ($2,000 and up) or Grant Committee (under $2,000) meeting. The meeting dates for each committee are listed below. Grant applications for the Board will be considered at the next Board meeting after you submit your grant. Although the Grant Committee prefers to consider requests at meetings, the smaller requests submitted to this group often make it possible to discuss and approve grants via phone or email.
