About the Nassau
BOCES Educational Foundation
2008 Grant Application
If you are interested in applying for a grant through the Foundation, please follow this rubric as a guide to the types of ideas the Foundation Board is interested in funding.
| Grant proposals should incorporate the following: | |
| A. | They should embody a unique concept. |
| B. | They should incorporate the best research in teaching and learning. |
| C. | The goal the grant
is attempting to accomplish should be highly replicable with the potential to serve many students. |
| D. | The project funded should be outside the normal operating budget. |
How will grants be
awarded?
Grants will be reviewed
by a sub-committee of the Board of Directors of the Nassau BOCES
Educational Foundation. They will reach consensus as to which grants
should be funded and
make recommendations to the Board of Directors. The
Board of Directors will then pass their recommendations on to the BOCES
Board of Education who will accept or reject the grant. If the BOCES
Board accepts the grant, a special budget will be set up in the general
fund from which the grant will be operated and expenses disbursed.

IF A GRANT IS AWARDED
What Happens if I
am a Successful Applicant?
If you are awarded a
Grant from the Foundation, the Foundation will expect an interim and
final report on your activities. In addition, you will be responsible to
keep all records of money spent, receipts and any disbursements which
could affect the Grant.
Finally, you will be asked to fill out a Grant Evaluation form which you will be sent some time in the progress of your Grant. In addition, you may be asked to come to present the results of your Grant to the Foundation Board.
ABOVE DISCLAIMER
** Please understand
that your willingness to apply for a grant does not necessarily mean the
Grant will be approved. Initially, you must obtain the approval of your
Building Principal or Supervisor who, if they approve of the idea, will
pass it along to the Executive Director of your department. If the
Executive Director also agrees that it’s a worthy idea to be funded, he
or she will pass it along to the District Superintendent. If the
District Superintendent approves, he will pass the application to the
Foundation’s Board who will consider it. Please do not forget to sign
the application and get the applicable approvals. Applications
will not be considered if all three signatures are not complete.
