Teachers and staff at Moorefield Schools are encouraged to apply now for education-related funding through the Hardy County Founding Fund. The application and award process is as follows:
- Projects taking place during fall 2024/early spring 2025 will be considered during this round of funding. Another round of funding will be announced in January.
- Requests for up to $5,000 will be considered. Depending on the number of applications, requests may only be partially funded if selected.
- Requests should be focused on providing enhanced educational opportunities and experiences for students. This might include purchasing more engaging materials for the classroom, or resources for special projects. Field trips that are educational in nature would also qualify and are encouraged.
- The application period will close on September 15th, or when requests exceed the amount of funding available.
- Grants will be made payable to the school.
- Requests for salaries, building/grounds construction, improvements, or maintenance, generally will not be funded.
Please be specific when describing your request and how the grant funding will be used.
Reporting: A brief report, preferably with pictures, will be due at the conclusion of the grant-funded program by no later than June 15, 2025.
