The report should include: report of expenditures, a brief statement of accomplishments, and an assessment of the project’s success.

Awarding of Funds

A total of about $15,000 is awarded to Teachers and Advisors in Learning Grants each year. If similar material or technology requests are made, faculty may be asked to share resources.

1. Typical grant awards are usually in the $500 – $700 range, but some grants have been awarded at higher levels.
2. Funds will be allocated until depleted.
3. Funding decisions will be based on justification, using evaluation criteria listed below, and availability of funds.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
Requests for furniture or alternative furniture will most likely not be approved unless it is unlike anything that has been tried within the District recently (and MANY have been tried) and has a significant benefit to users.

Similarly, while there are currently no restrictions on technology device requests, understand that it is rare for the committee to approve devices for individual classrooms. A more favorable look would be granted to peripherals using existing District technology. Please see the information under the Technology Requests section for additional information.

Project Information Needed

** Technology Requests**:

The Foundation works closely with the District in making purchases for approved projects. This is particularly true with technology related projects. Like all grant materials, items purchased by the Foundation become the property of the CV District, and thus technology items must be installed and serviced by the Technology Department. Adherence to the Technology Department’s current policies and practices is required for all technology requests, including peripherals.
