PEF Grants Disbursement Mission: Provide financial support for specific materials and programs that are designed to improve and enhance learning experiences in academics, activities and the arts; and to promote and improve education by offering innovative and diverse opportunities for learning.
GUIDELINES FOR GRANTS
Funds are available in the form of grants to all educators in the Pembroke Public Schools to support endeavors that directly benefit students. Any teacher, group of teachers or administrator in the Pembroke Public Schools may submit an application for funding. The application must provide a clear description of the proposed project, the objectives to be accomplished, the benefits to be derived by Pembroke students, the level of funding required and the manner in which the money will be spent. Any recipient of a Pembroke Education Foundation grant will be required to provide an appraisal of the project and an accounting of how the funds are spent by the end of the school year. We request that you notify the Board of Directors when your project is in progress so we may visit, see the grant in action and take pictures.
ELIGIBILITY
Grants will be awarded on a competitive system wide basis. Other professional personnel such as guidance counselors, school librarians, etc. are eligible to apply for grants. Projects must be carried out within the Pembroke School System (pre-K 12). Projects must be approved by the school administrator of the building in which the project is to take place.
ELIGIBLE COSTS
Grants will be awarded to cover costs which are not otherwise available through the regular school budget or from other sources. Priority will be given to funding proposals that directly benefit students. While the Pembroke Education Foundation recognizes the value and the need for each grant recipient to devote considerable time and effort to make a project succeed, the funding available does not allow for compensation for the individuals time.
PROPOSAL REVIEW PROCESS
Each application will be reviewed by the foundations grant committee. The committee may seek additional information from the applicant through interviews and/or site visits. Proposals which have merit and meet the guidelines may be funded if sufficient funds are available and if approved by the grant committee. At its discretion, the committee may approve a proposal for funding of a grant contingent upon specific limitations. In such cases, the committee will approve funding contingent upon the applicants acceptance of such limitations. The amount awarded for each grant will depend on funds available, the funds necessary for the proposed project and the number of applications received.
