Mini
Grant Program
The
Placer Hills Education Foundation (Foundation), through its Operating
Committee and Board of Directors, has determined that a mini grant
program, as outlined here, will advance the Mission and Purpose of
the Foundation.
Mini
grants may be requested for any subject matter, but the purpose of
the program is to provide the tools to help promote innovative and
creative educational programs within the Placer Hills School District
and to expand the existing curriculum to programs that are beneficial
but for which alternative funding may not be available.
Overview
It
is the intent of the Foundation to encourage applications from all
interested parties, particularly the Teachers and Staff within the
Placer Hills Union School District. Mini grants will be accepted by
the Foundation at any time. Mini grants may only be considered if
funds have been made available by the Operating Committee of the
Foundation (OC).
A
mini grant application will only be considered so long as it meets
the general qualifications outlined in the Allocation Committee
Charter and Allocation Process previously approved by the Foundation.
The
OC may approve mini grant requests via a majority vote. Criteria to
be considered will include the Guiding Principles as defined in the
adopted Allocation Committee Charter and Allocation Process.
Mini
grants will not exceed a maximum of $2,500 per classroom per calendar
year.
Proposed
projects should be a direct educational benefit to students.
Proposals
should be made as per district policy and for projects for which
funds are not available from another source. Property purchased
shall become the property of the district.
A
presentation to the Foundation Operating Committee is required in
order to receive funding.
Proposals
must be signed by the project proponent and the school site
principal. Only completed applications will be considered for
funding.
At
the completion of the project a written follow up report must be
submitted to the Foundation. The report must document all spending
and include commentary regarding educational benefit to the students. Additionally, the project proponent should thank and/or recognize donors for supporting their request.
