Please Read Before Applying

​

Please read the following submission guidelines before you apply...

 

  • Your submission needs to be specific, otherwise your submission will not be approved.

 

  • Submissions should ask for under $20,000, preferably under $10,000. 

 

  • We do not give grants for salaries, travel, or accommodation - if your submission includes any of these, it will be rejected.

 

  • We give first preference to literacy projects, but we will look at other curricular subjects.

​

  • Because of the rules governing our Foundation, we unfortunately cannot give grants to any schools or organisations outside Australia.

​

ICSEA

                 

Your ICSEA will be taken into consideration by the Foundation, but your ICSEA does not have to be under 1000, unless you are a non Public Education school and do not have a DGR.

 

Example of how to fill out the funding request outline

 

"We are seeking this grant to further strengthen our literacy teaching, improve literacy outcomes across the school and close the gaps for students at risk of experiencing difficulties. We are seeking further resources to more effectively implement our current Literacy teaching programs. The programs we are using have a strong evidence base.

 

Carlson Public School implemented the InitialLit program in our K-2 classrooms in 2022 and we have seen much growth in student phonic knowledge since this time, we also use the MiniLit and MacqLit programs for small group targeted intervention and value the continuity and consistency of systematic phonics teaching in K-2 and beyond. K-2 teachers have all been professionally trained in the effective delivery of InitialLit.

 

However, our school has a limited number of resources to support the explicit classroom teaching.

 

We are seeking a grant of $10,381 to purchase MultiLit - InitialLit for implementation in Kindergarten (21 students), Year 1 (28 students) and Year 2 (26 students), and professional learning for three staff members."
