ASD Foundation Grant Application Form
Application are accepted in the Fall and Winter. Fall applications will be reviewed and approved at the November ASDF Meeting. Winter applications will be accepted, reviewed and approved at the February meeting.
ASD Foundation trustees will rate applications on a scale using criteria that match the four categories listed within the application. The maximum score is 4/4.
- The ASD Foundation tends to fund innovative project ideas that are incorporated into innovative and enriching instruction. Our mission is not to supplement department budgets. Some applicants ask for materials, but do not explain how the materials will be used to support an innovative program, which results in a lower score for the application. The ASD Foundation does not fund projects to purchase reward/incentive materials such as candy/pizza, etc, nor are they able to fund bussing or substitute teacher fees. Funds must be spent by the end of the school year in which they are awarded.
Each winner must submit to the ASD Foundation a one-page Activities Summary of how the grant helped to improve student learning. Digital pictures of key moments made possible by the grant should be included with the Activities Summary. This Activity Summary may be shared on the ASD Foundation's social media pages and website. Awardees must also submit a one-page final Expenditures Report and all receipts. The expenditure report will be emailed to winning proposals. Both the Expenditures Report/Receipts and Activities Summary/Digital Photos are due May 15 of the school year in which the grant is awarded.
If, for any reason, you were to leave the school district, all items bought with the ASD Foundation monies become the property of Armstrong School District and should stay within the school you last worked. Grant money must be used only for the intended purpose outlined in the application.
