Teacher & Staff Applicants.

We look forward to reviewing your proposal! Here’s some important guidance to help you apply:

FUNDING PRIORITIES & RANGE OF AMOUNT OF FUNDING
The FHNS prioritizes funding new and innovative projects that require “seed money” to get started. When projects are successful and require annual re-investment, we encourage teachers and principals to incorporate costs into annual school budgets. 

RECENTLY FUNDED PROJECTS
We celebrate many definitions of what it means to be new and innovative! Head to our Grants page to see some of the great ideas that The Friends has supported in recent years.

APPLYING FOR FUNDING
​The typical process includes:
  1. Submitting your proposal before the deadlines provided to you by your principal (typically October and March)
  2. Presenting your proposal to the FHNS Board at our twice-annual meetings, with support from your school leader (typically October and March)
  3. Notification of the Board’s decision (within 1 week)
  4. Funding! (typically at the next scheduled school board meeting)
  5. Do your project!
  6. Submit an evaluation report (after your project finishes)

Guidelines for proposal evaluation


  • How many students are involved? (the more the better!)
  • Long-term benefits to the classroom and/or school
  • Creative/innovative approach to educational growth
  • Demonstrated need for your project with students/staff
  • Support from Principal - Does your principal indicate  enthusiasm for this project?
