ON-LINE
APPLICATION

Applications for Grants are available to Moore County teachers on this web site, from the Moore County Schools website, in all schools, or directly from the Foundation.

Following a personal interview with the Grants Committee, the submission moves on to the foundation’s Board of Directors, accompanied by a recommendation for action.

The foundation seeks to encourage and assist teachers who create excitement and a love of learning in the classroom. Creativity is an essential element in requests for financial Grants. The focus is on creating learning opportunities that excite and motivate students while enhancing the curriculum. The focus is specifically designed to focus on the creative use of the acquired materials rather than on the materials themselves. Foundation Grants are primarily intended to fill needs not met by school district budgets or public funding.

Applications must include how and when the foundation can follow up in the most productive way, in order to ensure that timely project completion is established.

No portion of a Foundation Grant may be used to compensate employees of the school system.

Applications can be submitted and reviewed at anytime during the year.

Grant requests for funds to purchase computers or other electronic equipment must be discussed with the Moore County Schools Information Technology (I.T.) Department before being sent to the MCPEF.

All applications must be a accompanied with a letter of support from the school’s principal. Please have the principal e-mail that letter of support to grants@mcpef.org within 48 hours of submitting an application. Applications without the letter of support from the school principal will not be considered.
