You can post a photo of yourself or your students with your grant. Grants are to be emailed and must be submitted on the correct form. Email address to send your grant application: lindabacsik@misdmail.org. All money goes back into the classroom $250.00 max for an individual teacher $1,250.00 max for a grade level $1,250.00 max for music, PE, technologists, librarians, art. $1,250 max for subject area teachers in middle and high schools Schools can submit as many grants as they like. Our commitment is to spend $5000 on the mini-grant round, as well as provide funding for two grant rounds a year.
- FULLY FUNDED GRANTS** if an individual or a group of individuals donate $250 or $1250 (or the actual amount of the grant request) to fund a specific grant, BINGO - that grant will be funded and the teacher will be able to implement that grant in the classroom during the Fall 2011 semester.
- OVER FUNDED GRANTS**If an individual or group of individuals donates an amount that is greater than the amount of the grant request, the additional funds collected will be used to cover any additional grants submitted by that campus. If there are no additional grants, parents will have the opportunity to designate their donation to the foundation for fall 2011 grants or request a refund from the MISD Education Foundation.
- PARTIALLY FUNDED GRANTS**If an individual or a group of individuals donate an amount to fund a specific grant (that does not cover the entire cost of the project), any money from overfunded grants on that campus will be applied to these grants. These grants may also receive partial funding if it does not materially alter the grant. (Example: instead of getting 4 books for each class, they may get 3 books for each class) The MISD Education Foundation will consider funding the remaining money of the grant (from our $5000 commitment for the mini-grant round) based on the amount of grants that fall into this category. If morel funding is not available in the mini-grant round, these projects will be given first consideration for funding in our fall grant round for the remaining monies.
- GRANTS THAT DO NOT RECEIVE ANY FUNDING**Any other remaining money from the $5000 mini grant round will be used to fund these projects if there is money available. If their grants are not funded in the mini-round, teachers will be encouraged to resubmit grant ideas during the regular fall grant round on the regular grant forms for consideration. (that should take care of poorer campuses who may not get designated funds)
