GUIDELINES FOR GRANTS

Funds are available in the form of grants to all educators in the Pembroke Public Schools. Grant size ranges from $100 (low) to $3,000 (high) with an average grant size of approximately $750.

PEF encourages grantees to be creative, forward thinking, and current in their program designs. Prioritization is given to programs that are sustainable on their own over time, can be utilized in the future by additional students, that benefit the most students, and that are easily replicable.  The PEF application must be completed in full. All recipients of a grant are required to provide an Outcome Report and an accounting of how the funds are spent by the end of the school year. Grantees who do not complete these forms may not be considered for future funding.


ELIGIBILITY

Any teacher, group of teachers or administrator in the Pembroke Public Schools may submit an application for funding. Other professional school personnel such as guidance counselors and school librarians are also eligible to apply for a grant. Grants will be awarded on a competitive basis.  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.  Funding is not available for staffing or compensation for an individual’s time.


PROPOSAL REVIEW PROCESS

Each application will be reviewed by the Foundation’s Grant Committee.  The committee may seek additional information from the applicant. At its discretion, the committee may approve a proposal for funding or partial funding of a grant contingent upon specific limitations.  The applicant must accept 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.
