The following information is current for the January 2021 second grant period for this 2020-21 school year.
​
Grant applications may be submitted starting January 4, 2021.

Each fall SKSR offers its active members in good standing the opportunity to apply for educational grants of up to $250 to facilitate their work with their students.  Grants must have a direct, positive effect/impact on students in their building and meet at least one of the following criteria:
  • Enrich the classroom experience of students,
  • Promote active student involvement,
  • Provide experiences that students may otherwise be unlikely to have at school,
  • Augment existing curriculum. 
 
Past grants include requests for themed books to supplement a unit of study, manipulatives to teach math concepts, picture books to be read aloud to students, and supplementary curriculum materials.  Because of the uncertainty of when, or if, schools will be able to welcome students back to their buildings and the need to continue to socially distance, the Grants Committee will screen applications for their ability to be completed with everyone off-campus.  Therefore, this year the committee will NOT be funding fieldtrip transportation or other in-person activities.  
 
Although this year’s grants need to be centered around remote learning, it is hoped that these requests will be equally useful and effective when schools reopen.
 
Grant Eligibility:
  • Be an active (employed) member of any school employee group that works with students in the Edmonds, Northshore, or Shoreline School Districts.
  • If not a current SKSR member in good standing, submit a completed membership application to the Membership Chair by January 29, 2021.  You may request a membership application from Jim Siscel, SKSR Membership Chair, at asjs68@earthlink.net or 425-778-7202.
  • Have received less than $1,000 in previous SKSR grants OR not received a grant in the previous three years (i.e., last award was before the 2017-2018 school year). 
  • Applicant did not receive a grant during the October/November 2020 grant period.
 
In order to be considered by the Grants Committee, the grant money must be used on behalf of the students in the building/location where you perform your educational duties.  
 
Scoring Criteria:
  • Application is complete and accurate.
  • Grant request meets at least one of the four purposes listed above.
  • Grant proposal can be used with a remote learning model.
  • Grant proposal is clearly described (i.e., reason for request, use of money, intended impact).
  • Description clearly reflects a connection to a curricular area of study or a school-wide goal/program.
  • Budget is complete, detailed, accurate, and verifiable.
  • Number of previous SKSR grants awarded.
 
Copy the revised application below, complete it, and email it to Karen McElliott at ksmcelliott@gmail.com.  Afterward, check your district email for confirmation that your grant application has been received.  (If you have any questions, check the Grant FAQs on this website or contact Karen at the above address.)  
 
APPLICATIONS ARE DUE BY Thursday, February 4, 2021
