The Halton Learning Foundation is committed to raising funds and seeking resources to enrich learning opportunities for students of the Halton District School Board. To this end, the HLF has created an application process for principals to access available funding.

Deadline for applications: Thursday, December 1, 2011

• Resources that directly benefit as many students as possible and that can be used multiple times
• Innovative ideas welcome

• No Consumables – e.g. materials that can be used only once i.e. paint, paper, ink

• Honoraria for personnel, fees for guests artists
• Release time, supply coverage
• Human “resources”
• Workshops
• Smartboards, laptops, data projectors
• Field trips, bussing, entry fee costs
• Requests that involve reselling items
• Equipment for school teams i.e. setting up a football team
• Playground/climbing apparatus equipment
• School program expenses that would normally be covered by existing budgets i.e. textbooks, white boards

Don’t disqualify yourself. Previous grants from the Halton Learning Foundation, whether from Barriers Funds, Enrichment Funds or external funding bodies through the HLF, do not prevent your school from applying for more funds. HLF has different “pots of money” for different purposes. If in doubt, contact Janice Rowe, , to discuss before you make a decision not to apply.

The Final Written Report for successful applicants will be due June 1, 2012 and sent electronically to Janice Rowe . We need written reports using sentences and paragraphs that describe the effectiveness of your project in relation to the criteria in Reporting Section E. Photo essays, point form reports, mp3 songs, power point presentations are not helpful since we must to be able to quote you in your own words in written reports to donors and in promotional material to prospective donors. The report should also include testimonials from students and/or teachers and at least one digital photo.

Important Notes:

1. Schools that received funding in 2010--2011 and did not submit a written report to Janice Rowe will not be considered.
2. Schools that have a limited ability to fund projects through their own resources will be given a higher priority.
3. If the number of requests exceeds the available funding, schools who have received previous HLF support from Enrichment Funds may be given lower priority.
