NEF GRANT GUIDELINES

Grant Writer Requirements:  Submit grant applications that enhance at least one of the School/District Improvement Goals or Strategies.  Fill out the grant application and submit it by set deadline (purpose, description, budget, recognition, evaluation).  Have the grant approved by building principal (signature required).  If the grant includes a request to purchase technology, it must have Kathy Tokerak’s (Director of Technology) approval.  Present their grant application to the grant committee so that any questions can be answered.  While ideas for successful grants can be shared, each individual grant should be written specifically by the person(s) submitting the grant to reflect individual classroom circumstances.

Grant Recipient Requirements:  Submit an article and picture of their grant in action to Kathy Maas (Northview News Editor) to be published in the Northview News. This should take place within three months of spending your funds.  Post information about the grant in/on your classroom newsletter or website.  Spend all money awarded within twelve months of receiving the grant.  Attend the Annual Golf Outing if possible to be recognized.  Additional Information:  NEF will not consider granting funds for transportation, meals/snacks, or Northview employee salaries. If you can document funding for transportation, we will consider covering other costs.

After the grant committee reviews the grants, NEF will take one of the following actions:  Approve the funding in full.  Offer a reduced amount of funding.  Return the application with suggestions for resubmitting.  Deny the request. (Explanation would be given)
