From the Foundation for Springfield Public Schools
The 2018-21019 Back to School Grant Program is now open and receiving applications online on our website at https://www.supportsps.org/2018-back-school-grant-application/
Last year, the Foundation gave out approximately $276,000 to fund more than 95, Back to School grant projects! This year, we hope to raise even more dollars to make funding a higher number of much-needed, Back to School grant projects possible.
The deadline for submitting 2018-2019 Back to School grant applications is June 14, 2018.
We hope that the availability of the online application form will be helpful to you in submitting your Back to School grant projects. While we are using the most up-to-date technology available to us for submitting and tracking projects, it would still be wise for you to save a hard or soft copy of your application, just to have that extra copy on hand. A little bit of insurance.
The categories have remained the same as last year, with one exception. We have eliminated Professional Development because timing for your proposal submissions and the awarding of the grant money wasn’t in sync with most of the professional development opportunities available to you. We will be offering grants for Professional Development later in the year. More to come on that.
Categories available for your grants again this year are as follows:
Student Experience
Modern Learning Environment
Classroom Projects
Community Engagement
More info and details on project requirements and the application are on the website. We will be holding a grant writing workshop at our office sometime in the next few weeks and will keep you posted on that. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by email at planderson@spsmail.org or phone the office at 417.523.0144.
Thank you for your dedication to making learning in your classrooms for your students THE BEST possible! YOU are awesome. The Foundation for SPS and our generous donors appreciate you and want to help you to make wonderful things happen in your classrooms again in the 2018-2019 school year!
Sincerely,
Pamela
