Ogden School Foundation Minigrant Guidelines
Only one request per teacher per year will be considered for funding.

Applications for funding are considered primarily on the following:

  1. How well the proposal complements the Foundation's mission statement.

    MISSION STATEMENT
    "The Ogden School Foundation exists for the purpose of enhancing educational opportunities for the students of the Ogden School District."

    And, in the opinion of the Foundation, how beneficial the proposal appears to be when compared with other pending requests.

  2. Requests of $500 or less are considered in the minigrant category and are submitted on this form. Requests up to $4,000 for elementary and $6,000 for secondary fall into the Incentives for Excellence category and should be applied for by the principal (one per school). Deadline is also Oct 1 (a different form is required).

  3. All questions must be answered.

  4. Generally, funding will not be provided for treats & parties as incentives, athletic related events, workshops or travel for individuals. Bussing for field trips will be considered.

  5. Bi-lingual materials that help to improve English competency will be considered.

  6. All funded equipment must stay at the school and it becomes part of the school's inventory. In the event that a teacher moves to a different school, the equipment does not move with the teacher unless the principal and the Foundation grant special permission.

  7. Those requesting funds should carefully check for the best prices and sources and submit at least 2 bids.

  8. Typed requests are preferred; however, legible hand written requests in black ink will be considered. Requests must be kept to one page, no attachments.

  9. Notification of approval or disapproval of your request will be given to your Principal/Administrator and a check will be sent to the school for all approved requests.

  10. All funds must be used in the school year they are awarded and for the approved items. Unexpended funds should be returned to the Foundation by June 1, 2010. Receipts should be kept on file in the school office and available to our auditors.

You may access this request form on the Foundation web site at www.ogdenschoolfoundation.org or on the District web page under Foundation at www.ogdensd.org after September 1. This form is also available at the Ogden School Foundation office at 1950 Monroe, Room 203. If you have any questions call Renae at 7307. Completed forms may be faxed to 627-7676 or sent in the District mail to the Foundation, 1950 Monroe, Ogden, UT 84401.
