Grants

Students working on an art project.The Foundation will use a grant process that carefully considers the purpose, scope, and educational impact of each proposal.

What form will grants take?

The Hermiston Education Foundation will support two levels of classroom grants:

  • Basic Grants
  • Project Grants

The Basic Grant level will be less than $1,000. The Project Grants will be funded at $1,000 to $5,000. Two determining factors in awarding grants will be the project's ability to provide significant enhancement to children's education and to what extent the project supports improvement goals.

When will grants be funded?

Completed grants are accepted twice a year. The application is available online and are also available at each school. Grant applications for the current cycle are due to Kathy Nichols at the District Office by March 18, 2010 by 4:00PM.
