The Grants and Projects Program offered through the Trenton Educational Foundation is an excellent opportunity to bring to your ideas to the classroom. There are two types of Grants that are available; Mini-Grants up to $750.00 and Collaborative Grants up to $1,500.00. The Grants and Projects Committee will review each application based on the following criteria: - Is the proposed project consistent with the Foundation’s mission? - Is the statement of the proposed project clear? - Are the objectives clearly stated? Does it address the district’s goals and/or objectives? - Are the procedures to be followed clearly described? Are the methods, needed materials, resource personnel, tentative schedule, and completion date specified? - Are the plans for evaluating the project suited to the nature of the project? - Is the budget request reasonable and sufficiently detailed? Are the funds available from traditional sources (i.e. district budget, PTO, etc.)? - Is the proposed project innovative? Is this a new project or similar to other projects in progress? - Will the project benefit students in the school in which it is being conducted or the system as a whole? Good luck. On behalf of our trustees, we look forward to receiving your application.
