Funding Limitations
- Grants will be approved for educational projects only.
- Principals have been provided the maximum allocation for their school and will approve mini grant applications based upon the funds available.
- The full amount may be requested for one project or several smaller grants may be submitted for a number of smaller projects.
- Any funds not used for the approved project must be returned to the Blount County Education Foundation.
- A final report must be submitted by the end of the following academic year detailing use of the funds as well as a statement from the applicant regarding the impact the grant made on a student or group of students. The BCEF will provide a form for this report.
- The BCEF may request further information the following year if the project was anticipated to impact TCAP scores.
- Although the following items are important to individual schools, at this time they will not be considered for grant funding: landscaping, playground equipment, facility maintenance, travel, lodging, speaker fees, contributions and donations.
- Mini-grant monies may be used to purchase materials and supplies necessary for the successful completion of an approved mini-grant project. However, our intent is not to solely fund materials and supplies without an effective or innovative educational project with measurable results.
Application Process
- Submit the application form, a project budget, and any supporting documents to your school principal.
- Your principal will determine whether the application will be submitted to the BCEF for consideration.
- A grant application may be submitted by the principal at any point during the academic year for consideration. Please keep a copy for your files.
- The BCEF liaison to your school will clarify any outstanding questions and assist the Grant Review Committee in determining whether funding will be provided for the project.
- You will be notified by letter regarding the status of your request. If funded, the check will be sent to your principal along with a letter specifying the purpose of the funding.
Contact the BCEF if you have questions about the mini grant application process.
