Who may apply? Classroom teachers grades K-12 at schools in the CVUSD
Purpose: Each $250 grant must be used to directly affect and enrich the students' educational experience.
How many grants will be given? At the program inception, at least 4 grants ($250 each) per month will be awarded. As Community Partners (donors) join the program, the number of grants awarded will increase accordingly.
Selection: A grant committee will select winning classrooms each month and teachers will be notified shortly thereafter.
Program duration: Grants will be awarded every month for 10 months, September through June of the academic year. Teachers do not need to re-submit their application each month, as all applications will be kept for the duration of the school year. Teachers may submit one application per school year.
Follow-up requirement: Within 30 days of receiving grant money, teachers are asked to provide written feedback to include a project summary and digital photographs and/or videotape featuring their classroom project, which may be published on the Cash 4 Conejo Classrooms website and/or Facebook page.
How to apply: All applications are to be submitted online using the form below.
Application deadline: Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis throughout the current school year until March 31. Applications received after March 31 may only be considered for the following school year.
Guidelines:
• Grant money is to be used for student enrichment, curriculum and activities within a budget of $250, or with a description of additional potential funding streams.
• A request for educational materials must include a description of a specific enrichment project or activity directly related to those materials.
• Grant money is to be used on a per classroom basis, to benefit all students in the classroom as opposed to individual students and/or scholarship assistance.
• At this time the program is not funded to provide grants for group projects for multiple classrooms. In the future we hope to add this component. Teachers are encouraged to submit individual applications with the understanding that only one (or not all) may be funded.
• While we recognize the importance of classroom supplies and equipment, we are unable to fulfill requests for these materials that are not directly related to specific enrichment activities.
Why donate?
• Every dollar received will be used to fulfill grant requests.
• Donations are tax deductible.
• Just $250 will provide a grant to one classroom.
• Partial grant donations are gratefully accepted - a donation of any amount will make a difference!
