GRANTS &
APPLICATION
INFORMATION |
Foundation grants are intended to provide funding for ideas, programs,
and sometimes materials for teachers which cannot be covered by school budgets.
In 2008 thirteen Grants totaling $13,569 were made. These ranged from $200
to $2,241.
Creative or innovative ideas will be particularly favored for these grants.
Generally, grants are not given for projects which are the same or similar
to those which duplicate or are similar to previous grants.
No portion of a Foundation grant may be used to compensate employees of
the school system.
Applications for grants are available on-line from the Moore
County Schools website and this website .
Applications may be submitted at anytime and will be reviewed at the next
scheduled meeting of the Foundation Board.
The teacher or teachers submitting an application will attend an interview
with the Grants Committee. A recommendation will then be forwarded to the
Foundation Board which makes the final decision as to approval.
The Foundation responds through the MCS Central Office with a date for
a meeting with the Grants Committee, usually during the first week of each
month.
