Grants

Grants are part of the funding mechanism for the purchase of needed items in the area of technology, textbooks, PE equipment, and other items as requested.

Our grant writer is a SPA Board member and writes grants according to the needs expressed by teachers, students, parents, administrators and SPA members through a “grant application form”. This form explains the guidelines and the criteria for distribution.

Grant requests from parents, teachers, administrators and others made through this process requires a “project description”; “project completion date” along with a “project” budget proposal. This information is reviewed by the SPA Board of Directors. Decisions are made based on the criteria as presented at a regular SPA monthly meeting according to Article 5 Section 2 of the SPA by-laws.

Grant monies are matched with fundraising activities to meet our goals to meet the needs of the students and staff of the Scappoose School District.
