Grants
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 may support two levels of classroom grants: Basic Grants (up to $1,000) and Limited Grants (up 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 also at each school. Grant applications will be sent to Briana Cortaberria at the District Office.
In an extraordinary or time sensitive circumstance, an out of cycle grant could be considered, for review by the grant committee and approval by the HEF board. In such a situation, please contact Briana Cortaberria via email [email protected].
