Funding Information
All North Kansas City Schools staff members may apply for Teaching Grants of up to $1,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- All North Kansas City Schools staff members may apply for Teaching Grants.
- Grants should fund projects that are not already provided for in site and district budgets. If a grant winner retires, resigns or leaves the district, the grant materials stay within the district and with the winning school or department. If a grant winner transfers within the district, the grant materials may transfer too.
- Grants cannot fund staff compensation, but they may be used for training or release time if needed for the specific project. Any absences resulting from grants must be approved by administration. Please note that grants may not be used to earn advanced degrees.
- A grant application will be considered in one category only. For instance, a Teaching Grant application will not be considered for a Site Grant. Submit separate applications with separate budgets.
- When creating a budget, research carefully and be realistic. Small grants are just as likely to be awarded as large grants, and partial funding may be considered by the selection committee.
- Grant objectives and outcomes should be consistent with site and district goals.
- NOTE: If your grant application includes technology or software, you must consult with the district’s instructional technology coordinators. All grants requesting Apple devices and apps must be approved by and purchased through the IT department.
- To maintain anonymity, please do not use your name or school name in the grant title or to answer application questions. ONLY include this information in the Project Overview.
- Continuing grants are not guaranteed funding and will not be approved for more than three years.
- Projects awarded grant funds must be completed by June 30, 2024.
- Grant winners may be asked to give verbal and/or visual presentations of their projects at future Education Foundation meetings or events, such as the Fall Breakfast Student Showcase.
