GRANT AMOUNTS
Thanks to the generous support of our donors and community members, Greenwood Education Foundation is pleased to offer approximately $20,000 in grants each awarded cycle year via two programs:
1) Education Innovation and Excellence - GEF has limited the grant amount to $2,500. We encourage district-wide and/or collaborative projects across schools.
2) Professional Development - Professional development grants support the growth, development, and leadership of our corporation staff. Applicants for this funding stream must work with the Building Principal and District PD Coordinator. Funds may not be used for certifications and/or graduate credits. Grant awards in this category may cover registration fees, but may not be used for expenses related to gas, food, and hotel costs.
ELIGIBILITY
All employed staff and administrators in the Greenwood Community School Corporation are encouraged to apply.
We will only accept one application per individual per school year as a project lead. If you received a grant during Grant Cycle #2 in 2022, you are not eligible to apply until Grant Cycle #2 2023.
Collaborative grants across buildings and departments are strongly encouraged (please note - there is no limit to the number of collaborative grants an applicant can be a member of).
