Types & Amounts of Grants

The Foundation will consider any project that supports the Foundation’s mission. We have approved grants for broadcasting equipment, LEGO robotic kits, classroom organizational items, stationary bikes for classrooms, books, materials that help support students’ emotional growth and mental well-being, musical instruments, equipment for service projects, and much more. No idea is too big or too small. There is no restriction on dollar amount. The Foundation has approved grants from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. 

Try to show how your project will impact as many students as possible and a clear connection to enhancing the curriculum. Collaborating with your colleagues can be helpful. 

When considering grant applications, the Foundation uses a three-question rubric: 
  • Does this grant support North Allegheny’s Strategic Goals? 
  • What is the level of impact of this grant on schools and classrooms? 
  • Does this grant fit with the NA Foundation’s mission? 

Applications for classroom furniture, field trips, professional development, and student club activities typically are not approved. 

Timeline

 After the submission period closes on November 13, the Foundation will review the applications and send their recommendations to the Board of School Directors for approval at their regular meeting. After the Board approves the recommended grants, notification emails and checks will go out within two weeks. All applicants will receive an email notification with the decision on their grant.
