This communication is to update you about the school, school leadership, and district grant-seeking support system, which must be used by your faculty and staff or anyone who is seeking grant funding. This procedure went into effect on April 18, 2018. This procedure aims to increase site and department support, collaboration of resources, and student achievement through a streamlined process. The link to the Grant Pre-Application Approval Worksheet is https://apex.slcschools.org/apex/r/slcsd/grant-application.
Thank you for your collaboration efforts on grant submissions. Using the Grant Pre-Application Approval Worksheet helps the district and foundation have a clear, shared plan based on school improvement and community needs. Most importantly, it allows us to communicate effectively and efficiently with stakeholders.
Process:
School administrators will be notified before a grant is submitted and will be able to have questions answered and pre-approve the grant application. The foundation will also be notified to ensure compliance with our C-6 Fundraising Policy and 501(c)(3) tax exempt status.
The pre-submission approval process:
- Approval by impacted schools/departments (15 business days before the grant application is due)
- Approval by the foundation director (10 business days before the grant application is due) All local, state, business/corporate, and foundation grants less than $100,000
- Approval by the superintendent (10 business days before the grant application is due) All federal grants
- All local, state, business/corporate, and foundation grants $100,000 or greater
- Approval by additional district personnel as required by the foundation director.
If you have questions about the Grant Pre-Application Approval Worksheet, contact me at James.Yapias@slcschools.org or 801.578.8561.
Sincerely,
James E. Yapias
