12 June 2025 – Welcome to the new streamlined grant form. We have combined all grant requests into one and added a basic checklist to the top. Thus this form is used for prime grants, academic program grants, professional development grants, and club grants. With this form, please include a free form explanation and statement of impact. Also include any supporting materials such as quotes, invoices, receipts, etc. The Carver Center Foundation is ready to help where we can and we want to thank you for your initiatives that make the George Washington Carver Center for Arts and Technology such a wonderful institution for our students and faculty alike. Sincerely, Leo Downey President SY26 and SY27
Instructions:
1. Complete and submit this form to your Department Chair, and then Carver Center principal for approval. The principal will then pass the form on to the Foundation for approval.
2. The Foundation or the principal will inform the requesting faculty member of grant approval status.
3. Upon grant request approval, the faculty member should initiate purchase and forward receipts or invoices to Carver Center Foundation as per payment method chosen.
4. Please fill in all areas so we can process your request promptly.
5. Please look ahead in the school year and submit requests as early as possible to avoid the possibility of funds being unavailable from the Foundation later in the year.
6. For academic courses, primes, clubs and other groups in which it might be anticipated that students will be participating in local, state, regional and/or national conferences or competitions, please attempt to consider funding needs for all such possibilities and make one overall grant request, so that the Foundation can consider the total that may need to be expended for any one set of conferences and competitions.
7. Matching Funds for Professional Development Grants: All proposals must indicate a commitment of at least equal matching funds(that is, at least half the total budget) from a department or external source. Each individual applicant can receive a maximum of $1,000 during a fiscal year.
