Hello Teachers!

Congratulations on being awarded a grant!

STEPS TO REQUEST CEF GRANT FUNDS:

NOTE: There are different instructions for requesting funds for EITC Grants. Those grants go through Michelle Bisacquino.

  1. To request funds, you need to fill out a Grant Request Form (link below) and email it to Jennifer Schultz at schuje@centennialsd.org.

  2. When requesting funds, if a speaker or performer needs to be paid, please include their name on the form and if you are presenting them with the check or if it needs to be mailed to them.

  3. We do not cover tax for the grants - but we are tax exempt - so please request our tax exemption form from Jennifer Schultz if you are purchasing from a vendor that is not Amazon.

  4. Overages - if you go over your approved grant funds - we do not cover it. Please be careful when making your purchases.

  5. Funds must be used by April 30, 2026.

EXPECTATIONS:

❖ Contact us to invite the CEF Board members to visit during your grant activities. Board members and administration enjoy visiting. ❖ An expectation of receiving a grant is for you to send short videos and electronic photos of the grant in action along with your summary. (Make sure all students are approved for photos).

❖ Please identify and share that CEF is the source of your funding.

AFTER YOU USE YOUR GRANT:

  1. Please fill out a Reconciliation form and Final Report (links below).

  2. Send any photos, videos and feedback to Jennifer Schultz for inclusion on our social media channels, email campaigns and annual report. PLEASE NOTE: make sure that any children’s faces shown are on the district approved list to share publicly.

  3. We love testimonials! Please share them with us - this really helps when we are reaching out for sponsors for CEF grants.

Please request the funds 2 weeks prior to when they are needed, so we allow time to review the request and get the funds ready for your mini-grant project. The form can be downloaded via the link below.
