Grant Ideas That May Be Funded

• Programs/activities not funded by the schools operating budget

• Equipment, supplies, and materials necessary for implementation of the proposal. 

• Training required for implementation of the project

• Consultants/Speakers fees and travel

• Professional Development

• Furniture (must meet all three criteria below):

• Distinctiveness criteria- The grant application is for furniture that differs from the standard items provided by the school district

• Usefulness criteria - grant application needs to demonstrate how to tie in to learning or teaching enhancements commensurate with the EdFund directives.

• Non-duplicative support criteria - no other “Friends of...” groups, student groups or general school district budget could be a likely first and sole source of funds for the grant application, as they typically fund these types of initiatives.
