Grant Program for TSD#401

In order to qualify for the Grants Program, you must be a teacher, staff, employee or PTO associated with the Teton School District #401, in Teton County, Idaho. We make $2,500 available, three times per year (Sept. 15th, Dec. 15th, and Mar. 15th), to fund ideas from the school community. Learn more about the general purpose of the program by going to Grants.

We make our best effort to streamline and make convenient the application process. We recommend the following steps:

Step 1: Download and Review TVEF Application and Guidelines
Our application and grant guidelines are combined into one document that you can complete on your computer and email to your building principal.

Step 2: Download and Review Grant Writing Tips  
This is a one page tip sheet that you can use to ensure your proposal has all the necessary elements our Board needs for consideration.

Step 3: Download and Review Sample Proposal
We offer this document to help you understand what we consider a strong proposal.

Step 4: Complete the application, either by hand or word processing. In the guidelines, we outline the various means by which you can submit it to the Foundation. All proposals must be approved your building principal, or, if the proposal affects the district as a whole, appropriate district personnel. 

Step 5: Check your email for notification about the funding status of your proposal. The TVEF Board makes the grant decisions at the board meeting scheduled after each proposal deadline. (Board meetings are the first Thursday of every month.) Grant contracts are then delivered to your school mailbox.

Step 6: If your proposal is funded, you will need to submit a Final Report by the deadline listed in your grant contract. When you are ready, download the Final Report Guidelines.
