Grant Guidelines

  1. Grant proposals may be submitted by any member of the Haldane community (staff
    member, student, parent, community member).
  2. Grant proposals must support and enhance the excellence of the Haldane Central
    School District and be directly related to student learning.
  3. Grant proposals are to demonstrate impact in terms of the number of students it will
    benefit, its duration, and its potential for continuation in subsequent years.  Priority will
    be given to programs requiring less funding, as the Foundation seeks to award as
    many grants as possible.
  4. Although not a requirement, we encourage proposals where there is a collaborative
    effort, for example, an inter-school collaboration between departments, and/or
    collaboration with the community.  We also encourage service-oriented projects where
    students give back to the community.
  5. The scope of projects funded by the Grants must be outside the scope of
    responsibility of regular items budgeted by the Board of Education.  Grants are not
    intended to supplant budgeted items, but to provide for supplementary development
    and support of enrichment and other programs beneficial to the school.  Applicants
    must apply for funding through the school’s administrative channels and PTA prior to
    applying for a Haldane School Foundation grant.
  6. Grant funds may be used for supplies, equipment, software, and/or resource
    materials. Funds may not be used to pay indirect costs or salaries, with the exception
    of professional performers or educators within the subject matter of the proposed
    grant. Proper documentation of professional status must be submitted with initial
    proposal.  The Haldane School Foundation strongly encourages volunteerism among
    its applicants.
  7. The Haldane School Foundation encourages applicants of recurring programs to
    seek funding through the BOE budget process after the third year of HSF funding.
  8. All decisions by the Grant Committee must be in compliance with the bylaws of the
    Haldane School Foundation and be consistent with the Mission and Operating
    Principles of the Haldane School Foundation.
  9. Applicants of winning grants must inform the Haldane School Foundation when a HSF
    sponsored event has been scheduled or when equipment purchased by HSF has
    been delivered.
  10. The appropriate credit line, acknowledging the financial support of the Haldane
    School Foundation should be included on all printed material regarding the approved
    project.  
  11. The Haldane School Foundation will monitor each grant.  All expenses must be
    accounted for with receipts.
  12. If the HSF funds a grant, please submit a press release with an article and photo of
    event to PCNR along with a reference to the Haldane School Foundation funding of
    the project.
  13. The final evaluation must be completed and submitted to the Haldane School
    Foundation promptly.
  14. Incomplete applications will be returned to the applicant.
