School Partnership Grant Program Update
FY25
Presented by Fulcrum in partnership with the Office for Catholic Schools
As discussed at the February 8th Principal Zoom meeting, Fulcrum’s School Partnership Grant (SPG) Program is changing significantly for at least two years beginning in 2024-2025. You can find details here (info on SPG is #3). We wanted to share updated information with you to help in your planning for the 2024-2025 school year. Additional information will be shared in August at Kickstart.
When can schools apply and when will they be notified on the outcome of their application?
The application window will open September 18 and close October 31, 2024. Determinations will be sent to all applicants by no later than December 31, 2024.
Who can apply?
K-8 schools in the Archdiocese of Seattle, and Catholic high schools that fall outside the Norcliffe service area may apply. Schools may only receive funding in either FY25 or FY26 (not both).
What can schools apply for?
Schools can apply for a maximum of $10,000 in one of these 4 focus areas:
- Curriculum and/or technology
- Fundraising software
- Safety and security enhancements
- Enrollment-driving initiatives
Ideally the SPG award would cover:
- Up to 75% of the total project cost, at a maximum grant of $10K
Or
- Up to 100% of the remaining funding needed to complete the project, as a maximum grant of $10K, so long as a minimum of 75% of the total funding has already been secured
Note for Pierce County K-8 schools – In order to fulfill the final year of our agreement with the Snyder Foundation, there will be a different application and focus areas for FY25. You will receive further information via email.
