Over $50,000 was collected throughout this last school year for our Grants to Teachers and Scholarship funds through SAISD employee donations alone! We cannot do what we do for SAISD students and teachers without your support and the support of your staff.

GRANTS TO TEACHERS

• The Grants to Teachers application opens on Wednesday, August 12th and closes at midnight on Wednesday, September 23rd

• In addition to innovative, out-of-the-box grant applications that enhance student learning, we will also be considering grants that address the specific needs of your campus due to new learning platforms and safety protocols associated with COVID 19.

• Grants to Teachers application categories:

• Individual Teacher – up to $500 – includes all certified teachers and SAISD related services (speech path, VI, etc.)

• Grade Level/Dept – up to $1500 – must list all teachers included in the grant application; each staff member can only be associated with ONE grant application

• Instructional Coach/Counselor/Librarian (or library aide where applicable)/At-Risk Coordinator – up to $1500

• All Campus – up to $2500 – must be submitted by campus principal or AP

• PLEASE read all grant application instructions carefully to ensure your application is not disqualified

• DO NOT include any identifying information (campus, name, etc.) except where specifically requested

• Make sure you are only associated with ONE grant application

• Include an ITEMIZED list in excel (make sure the total on itemized excel list matches the amount you request on the application; do not include identifying info in your file name!)

• CAMPUS ENVELOPES/DONOR CARDS:

• We will place in your boxes today!

• Donor cards are due to your campus secretary by noon on Friday, September 4th

• Donations can be made by check (made out to SASF), cash, PayPal (the QR code at the bottom of the donor card will direct you to our PayPal link), or through a one-time or monthly payroll deduction - checks can be postdated to September 23rd

• $5 is the minimum donation

• Donations can be made to either Grants to Teachers or Scholarships or both

• If donating to both funds, there is a $5 minimum to each fund

• ALL staff donating at least $5 to either fund by the Sept. 4th deadline will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win one of two $250 Amazon gift cards to be used

Certified staff will contribute $25.00 and all support staff and split-campus employees will pay $12.50. Erika will collect the dues. Please pay by September 24th.
