Submitting a Grant

Any GBSD staff member is eligible to submit a grant application.

​

These items are needed to submit a grant request:

  • The title of the project or item,

  • the name of the requester,

  • the department or school,

  • the cost, a description of the request,

  • the impact of the project—including which students and how many will benefit

  • how it relates to current curricula and standards and,

  • if the grant is only partially funded, whether there is another source of funding available.

 

You are welcome to include any other details you would like the GBEF to be aware of while evaluating the grant application.

 

Your building’s principal or supervisor should be contacted first to get their consent on any grant proposals. Following receipt of that approval, the request will be forwarded for review by a district office administrator who will submit the request to the Foundation board of directors for funding consideration.​

"Students in my STEAM class were given the challenge to design and create a paper/cardboard rocket that could be launched off a 1/2 " PVC pipe. My 7th-grade STEAM class experimented with launch angles, gas pressure, PVC cement, and the proper use of hand tools in the creation of a rocket launcher. I want to thank the Gresham Barlow Education Foundation Grant for providing the funds for this lab. It has a positive impact on every student who can participate, and it helps students realize that they are capable of working with more than just cardboard and hot glue."
