Grant Guidelines
Grant proposals may be submitted by any member of the Haldane community (staff member, student, parent, community member).
Grant proposals must support and enhance the excellence of the Haldane Central School District and be directly related to student learning.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Haldane School Foundation encourages applicants of recurring programs to seek funding through the BOE budget process after the third year of HSF funding.
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.
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.
The appropriate credit line, acknowledging the financial support of the Haldane School Foundation should be included on all printed material regarding the approved project.
The Haldane School Foundation will monitor each grant. All expenses must be accounted for with receipts.
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.
The final evaluation must be completed and submitted to the Haldane School Foundation promptly.
Incomplete applications will be returned to the applicant.
