Guidelines 

  1. Programs and activities that supplement and enhance the educational process are the primary focus of the foundation funding.
  2. Resource materials that support programming and activities.
  3. Other funding resources should be reviewed and considered before submitting funding requests.  Foundation funding is not intended to replace usual and customary public funding of ISD 252.
  4. There are no dollar restrictions as to the amount of a request other than the availability of funds in the CFEF program budget.
  5. The number of participants served and the cost per participant will be important factors when determining the value and merit of a request.

Who May Request Funds

  1. Typically, funding requests will originate from the school district's professional staff.
  2. Any citizen of ISD 252 may submit a funding request through a co-sponsoring arrangement with a school district representative.

Approval Procedures

  1. Individuals requesting funds complete an electronic funding request form (we no longer use paper forms.)

  2. The Superintendent and appropriate school principal review each request to ensure compatibility with overall school district educational objectives and budget.

  3. The requester may be asked to attend the CFEF Board of Director's monthly meeting for their consideration.

  4. The requester will be emailed a copy of their request and will be able to track the status of their request electronically as it moves through the approval process. Once the CFEF Board of Directors has reviewed the request at their monthly board meeting on the 3rd Thursday of the month, the requester will be notified of the outcome via email. 

  5. CFEF greatly appreciates any follow up pictures, videos or written summaries after approved grants are implemented. These submissions may be used on social media to promote CFEF so be sure to obtain any necessary permissions for pictures or videos involving students.
