Grant Terms and Conditions
Items used in classroom settings will be given priority; however, academic extracurricular activities are now eligible to apply for up to $100. Requests must be for specific item(s) (not for gift cards, for example). Applicants can submit multiple grant applications, but each project must have its own application. Grants must benefit students in this academic year. The grant prioritization happens twice per year in August and December but grant applications will be funded throughout the year as money is available in the order prioritized by the PTO Board. Funding is dependent on the current cash position and on fundraising income.
The PTO Board has final approval on all applications, irrespective of the number of requests, funds available, or prioritization rubric score.
Grant funds will solely be used for the purpose outlined in the grant application. Grantees will provide receipts for all expenditures funded by the grant.
All items purchased with grant funding become property of Germantown Hills School District 69. Items may not be taken, sold, or removed without permission.
After students begin to benefit from the grant, grant recipients agree to submit a brief (one page) report to the PTO. The report will describe the project and the results. To increase our fundraising efforts, these reports will be used to celebrate, promote, and publicize the grant recipients and their efforts. Photos are encouraged to be submitted to be used on our website and in other marketing materials.
