Re: Grant Funds Available in 2014/2015
Date: August 2014
Dear SGA Reps:
Working hard to create school spirit and get B-CC students more involved and interested? The B-CC PTSA would like to help turn your ideas into reality! We have created an easy grants process to help you make that happen.
For the 2014–15 school year, the PTSA has $200 available to allocate to each grade, as well as the overall SGA Executive Board. The PTSA Executive Committee will make grants on a rolling basis – applications are accepted at any time. You may request a grant for any amount between $50 and $200.
These funds are intended to underwrite project supplies – such as markers, poster boards, signs, etc. In addition, they can be used a seed money to get an initiative off the ground. You can pool funds across grades to increase purchasing power if need be.
If you have a project that you would like to be considered, please complete the application on the reverse side and return it via email to Joyce Rechtschaffen at If you have any questions about the process or the suitability of a project, please feel free to contact me.
The PTSA decision-making process is designed to be quick! Once a request is in hand, we will notify applicants of grant decisions within one week.
Many thanks for all you do!
B-CC PTSA
