Guidelines
All certified CPS personnel are eligible to apply, including administrators, counselors and social workers from pre-kindergarten through Grade 12.
Requests may be up to $2,000 per project.
We fund projects that provide hands-on learning experiences that end in a culminating event or product that may be viewed by a visitor.
Projects which have been funded for several years such as a school newspaper may not continue to be funded to give new projects a chance.
No money will be awarded for computers, LCD projectors, teacher stipends, food/beverages, school fundraisers.
Applicants will be notified of the results by email prior to the Thanksgiving holiday.
Applications will only be accepted and processed through this website.
