    Application deadlines are August 1 and December 1 of every year.  If funds have not been awarded by grant deadlines, late applications will be accepted.

    The applications will be reviewed within 30 days of the deadline and awarded within 45 days of the deadline.

    Applicants will receive written or verbal confirmation if their application is accepted. If the application is denied applicants will receive written information as to why it was not approved.

  • Projects that could or should be provided by the Beulah Public School District will not be funded.  It is not the intent of the Beulah Education Foundation to fund projects that are the responsibility of the Beulah Public School District.  Building Principals will screen grant applications in order to determine whether they could be paid by the building budget or are considered a school district responsibility. 

    • Projects should include sustainability if start-up funds are requested.

    • Projects should impact multiple students.

    • Projects should ideally be completed within a year.

    • Equipment purchased with Foundation funds will be owned by the district, with the grant writer having priority use.  When possible, equipment should be shared with colleagues to maximize utilization. 

  • Funds will be dispersed upon submission of an expense report.  If lodging/meal expenses are incurred, payment will be for actual expenses incurred up to the current state rate. All copies of invoices must be submitted by the applicant to the Foundation for reimbursement within one (1) month of the grant award.  Applicants are asked to submit photos of students using the grant project and complete an assessment report of the project to use in newsletters and Foundation reports also within two (2) months.
