FAQs
Q: I’ve received a grant from WWEF before. Can I apply again?
A: As a prior grantee you are absolutely welcome to apply. WWEF does make every effort to distribute grants equitably across grant years and throughout the district.
Q: Can our whole team apply for a grant together?
A: Teams of two or more can work together on a grant application, though there will only be one named contact person and if selected, official grant recipient.
Q: Can each person from our team all apply for an individual grant towards the same project?
A: Yes however the Grants Committee makes every effort to ensure that grant funds are distributed in a way that maximizes the number and breadth of students impacted.
Q: The project I want to do costs more than $1500. Can I apply for the $1500 maximum grant funding to put toward the total cost of my project?
A: Yes, there is also a question that asks you to detail where the additional funds will be sourced from to ensure the project is feasible.
Q: Does the grant have to be used in the classroom?
A: No. WWEF encourages staff members to apply for grants that increase innovation and opportunity in the classroom, as a whole building, for clubs and after school activities, and beyond.
Q: I’m not a classroom teacher, can I still apply?
A: Every staff member of WWCSD is encouraged to submit a grant application. If you have any questions regarding the Common Core standards or how other application components apply outside of the classroom setting, please reach out to our Executive Director for assistance at wwfoundation@wwcsd.net.
