The Westlake Educational Foundation Offers Staff Grants
in Support of Its Mission
OVERVIEW
Grants awarded by the Westlake Educational Foundation are limited to projects that enrich the educational opportunities of students in the Westlake City School District.
- Projects must encourage the learning and growth of students and advance the missions of both the Westlake Educational Foundation and the Westlake City School District.
- Requests should enhance educational opportunities and experiences over and above the required curriculum and not be made for on-going operational expenses such as salaries, benefits, facility maintenance, supplies, etc. normally covered within the Westlake City School District budget.
- Special consideration will be given to proposals that demonstrate creativity and innovation in student learning.
Grant requests are considered by the Foundation’s Board of Directors using a formal review process.
- Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of how closely they reflect the Mission of the Westlake Educational Foundation and support the Mission and Strategic Plan Initiatives of the Westlake City School District.
- Grant recipients will be asked to prepare a short, written assessment regarding the outcomes of funded projects. Recipients of Major Grants or grants for highly visible items may be requested to provide project status updates via an interview with the Foundation Board of Directors.
ELIGIBILITY
