What is a Large Grant?
Foundation grants support innovative, creative projects that improve teaching
and learning and are not normally funded within school budgets.
LARGE PROJECT GRANT proposals are studied by committee members made up of trustees from the
Foundation and educators that cross all age levels but concentrate on subject matter pertaining to the committee. Once
a committee has settled on a project and has completed a rigorous assessment the committee representative from the Foundation
presents the project to the Foundation Board in March moving it to the Projects Committee to enter the approval process.

What is an Innovation Grant?
An innovation grant is proposed by a District 300 educator
in March of each year and they are awarded in April of each year for the next school year.
The grant must
be unique and never done before.
The grant must be innovative with clear goals aligned with State Education Standards.
It must be measurable.
An innovation grant is up to $500.
As are all of our grants none of the
grant money is used to pay teachers stipends.

What is a Trustee Grant?
Grant requests that fall outside
of the normal grant process timeframe are considered as special requests--Trustee Grants. If additional grant monies
are available after traditional grants have been awarded, Trustee Grants may be considered at any time of year.
