Kinds of projects
HRCEF wants to support impactful projects that enrich student learning through direct academic benefit, staff development or non-academic learning opportunities. Ideally, they are looking for innovative ideas that exhibit a creative or new approach, program, area of study or means of instruction, but they are open to awarding grants for items or ideas that significantly enhance student learning without being particularly innovative.
Grants will be considered based on cost-effectiveness, as well. They seek projects that impact a large number of students (either at one time or over a number of years) OR that involve a unique depth for a smaller number of students. Preference will be given to grants where two or more educators work together on a project, broadening the scope of impact and cost-effectiveness of grant monies. Educators are encouraged to pursue additional outside sources of funding either before or in addition to this grant, thus leveraging HRCEF’s funding as fully as possible.
