Students benefit from the financial support of the Apple Tree Foundation for Woodland Youth. Specific educational programs in the schools of the Woodland Joint Unified School District will receive funds to support their classroom education. Here’s how it works. Financial support will be provided as mini-grants via an application process. Teachers may apply for a specific use of money. A grant allocation committee, using agreed upon and published criteria, will determine which applications receive funds. If applications meets the criteria, the only limits are the availability of funds. The more funds the Foundation raises, the more applications will be funded. Currently, the funding limit per application is $1,000. A few examples: (1) a music, art, or science program may need a particular piece of equipment. The music teacher may apply for a grant to cover all or part of the cost; (2) an elementary school class wants to visit the Heidrick Ag History Center to supplement their science or social science curriculum--the teacher may apply for funds to cover the cost of admission and/or transportation; (3) the Foundation may provide a minigrant for all or part of a school program that supplements the curriculum, such as an historical reenactment, or a relevant, science, art, drama or music program. The Apple Tree Foundation plans to support all of the school curriculum and all grades, K-12, within the schools of the Woodland Joint Unified School District. Potentially, other ways to support student programs may be created in the future, if the resources of the Foundation grow significantly. The Board is open to suggestions and will look to other successful public school Educational Foundations for models. (California Consortium of Educational Foundations [CCEF].) |
