Grant Application

Dear Partner in Education:

The Ballston Spa Educational Foundation was formed to raise, manage and distribute financial and non-financial resources for educational enrichment.   We are beginning our Spring 2010 grant cycle and encourage you to submit an application.  Funds from this grant cycle will be available in May.

Although Foundation funds are limited, we encourage you to submit more ambitious proposals.  If your proposal meets our funding criteria, we will make every effort to secure an alternate funding source.  

You are invited to apply for funds by completing an application form.  Forms or an electronic version are available in each building principal’s office.  In addition, forms can be obtained on our website or through one of our building liaisons:
http://www.ballstonspaeducationfoundation.com/

Priorities will be given to projects that address the Foundation’s mission and are educationally enriching, innovative, creative and include a plan for continuation beyond Foundation support.  If you have previously applied for a grant and it was not approved, you may re-submit the proposal, or a new version of the proposal, for this review cycle.  

Ten copies of the application must be in the Foundation’s mailbox at the District Office no later than than 4 pm on March 19, 2010.  We are unable to accept applications by facsimile.

For more information on the application for funding, contact Stuart Williams in the Office of Community Resources at 884-7195 ext. 305 or Martina Bantham, BSEF Grants Review Committee Chair, at 884-5051.

We encourage you to take advantage of this unique opportunity.  Good luck with your application!

Sincerely,

Martina Bantham, Chair, Grants Review Committee
