Grant Applications must:
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. The committee will be looking for clear descriptions of projects that enhance student learning in the classroom. EPAK does not fund salaries, food, or school uniforms. Although EPAK recognizes the need for these items in the classroom, they are not what EPAK chooses to fund. Please deposit checks immediately. If checks are lost, a $30 stop fee will be taken out of the new check. Checks that are not cashed by the report deadline will be cancelled and the recipient will not be eligible for the next grant cycle. If you have questions about the online application process, please contact the EPAK Allocations Committee at allocations@epak.org.
Requests for changes in use of funds must be submitted to allocations@epak.org and be pre-approved by an EPAK board member. If receipts are lost, a teacher must show the materials purchased to their principal or director, who must write an email on the teacher's behalf to allocations@epak.org stating that the materials were indeed purchased (or field trip taken, etc.).
Post-Project Reports:
Once grant monies are spent, the recipient must send scanned copies of original receipts along with a Post Project Report by the deadline above to qualify for future grants. Post-Project Report Directions:
