Grant Request Form

BROOKRIDGE PTA STUDENT ENRICHMENT FUNDS

Funds may be requested by teachers, staff, and students for any school-related activity. No group or event will automatically receive funds. This process is not meant to be punitive or exclude any groups. The goal of the process is for parents, students, and teachers to be active in PTA and instrumental in the process of how funds are spent!  Funding requests less than $200 will be reviewed by the PTA Executive Committee in accordance with the parameters below and funding availability in that budget category.  If a grant is funded by the PTA Executive Committee, it will be reported at the following monthly PTA general membership meeting.  Funding requests over $200 will be reviewed and voted on at the next available PTA general membership meeting.

All grant requests should be made by PTA members for programs, projects or materials that enhance Brookridge Elementary. Priority will be given to funding requests that:

  • Have a clear purpose.
  • Address a specific need in the Brookridge community.
  • Benefit a large number of Brookridge students.
  • Benefit a particular subgroup, special population, or address closing the achievement gap in the Brookridge community.
  • Have no other avenue for funding (district, school, corporate, parent, etc.)
  • Have matching funds from other sources (not required).
  • Have letters of support for the project.
  • Are from a student.

QUALIFICATIONS & ELIGIBILITY

  • Any student, teacher, staff may submit a funding request IF they are a member of PTA. A student application must be co-sponsored by a Brookridge employee.
  • If the request is identical or very similar to a previously funded project, prior success and ongoing need must be demonstrated.
  • Each school has technology funding separate from the PTA funding, and any technology funding must have applied for funding through that fund prior to requesting PTA funding.
  • For any request that proposes a project or intervention in a curriculum or in the classroom, a letter of support from the classroom teacher is required.
  • Requests may be fully or partially funded, or not funded at all.
