Applications for funding will be accepted from any member of the school community, including parents. Applicant must be a member of the Cider Mill PTA.
Applications must be fully completed. Incomplete applications will be returned. If submitting via email, please follow up with a signed copy. (Principal signatures are no longer required, but a conversation about the proposal with the Principal is strongly suggested.)
Funding for projects or equipment included in the Board of Education budget will generally NOT be considered.
Funding should be distributed fairly both within grades and amongst all grade levels in the school as far as is practical and possible.
Funding for small group programs may be considered if there is potential benefit to the larger school community.
Applications must include ALL costs, including shipping, handling and taxes, to the extent that information is available. Estimates must be substantiated.
Monies cannot be disbursed without a purchase order, paid receipt or invoice. All items purchased with Gift and Mini-Grant funds become the property of Cider Mill School.
The Gift and Mini-Grant preview committee will review all applications, conduct an interview with the applicant(s) and present recommendations to the Cider Mill School PTA Board for voting at the next scheduled PTA meeting. The PTA meets monthly. Dates can be found on the Cider Mill web site calendar. Please submit applications at least 2 weeks prior to a PTA to ensure enough time for the review committee to meet.
