EPAK accepts grant applications from Ravenswood City School District teachers twice a year. Applications in the Fall are typically due in September while applications in the Winter are typically due in January.

Depending upon funding levels, there may be qualifications regarding the types of teachers eligible to submit a grant application.

EPAK is not currently accepting applications.

Winter Grant Post Project Reports and Receipts will be accepted through June 11, 2010.

Grant Applications must be:

1. completed online by the deadlines above

2. contain a clear, concise description of the proposed project

3. include a detailed proposed budget with specific items and prices

The selection committee will be looking for appropriateness of the request and its ability to support the project's goals. Lists of classroom supplies, organization materials, stickers, rewards, etc. will be denied. EPAK also does not fund salaries, reimbursements, furniture, food, or school uniforms. Although EPAK recognizes the need for these items in the classroom, they are not what EPAK chooses to fund.

If you have questions about the online application process, please contact Cindy Chin by email or phone 415.812.0800.

Once grant monies are spent, the recipient must still send original receipts, or other proof of expenditures, along with a Post Project Report by the deadline above to qualify for future grants.

Requests for changes in use of funds must be in writing (email is accepted) and be pre-approved by an EPAK board member. If receipts are lost, a teacher must show the materials purchased to their principal, program director or EPAK board member, who must write a letter on the teacher's behalf to EPAK stating that the materials were indeed purchased (or field trip taken, etc.). Board members may be reached by email at info@epak.org.
