GRANT APPLICATION GUIDELINES - MINI-PROJECTS

The Averill Park Education Foundation exists solely for charitable and educational purposes to benefit the students of the Averill Park schools and works to support educational and creative initiatives to enrich programs and services for the students. The Foundation encourages teachers, students, and community members to help identify worthwhile projects for funding opportunities. Funds are distributed in the form of grants and project awards focused primarily in the academic subject areas, as well as technology, cultural enrichment, professional development, and general scholastic achievement. Consequently, grant requests submitted to the Foundation must demonstrate that the project/program and the funds requested will benefit our academic environment and our students.

The Foundation currently has funding available for mini-grants for a maximum amount of $500 each for K-12 projects. All grants are subject to approval by the Foundation Board. Deadlines for submission of proposals are as follows:

      • September 1
      • March 1
      • June 1
      • All proposals will receive a response generally within 4-6 weeks of each deadline. The dollar amount available for grants per year is directly related to the results of the annual fundraising campaign, and may vary from year to year. Depending upon the quality and number of proposals submitted each year, the number of grants awarded may also vary

        • Grant awardees will be required to accept the following procedures:

  • Submit a written report at the end of the project identifying completion of all established goals, an overview of the results, and recommendations (if any) for future projects
  • Submit a final actual budget including all expenses, any income or additional funding, and any in-kind donations, if applicable
  • Requests for grant renewals must follow the same procedure as initial grant proposals submissions. A prior award does not guarantee a renewal.

    • Completed applications should be submitted by the deadline date to:
