The Polar Bear Foundation can help YOU—the teachers and staff of NYCSD—make good things happen! We support grants for immediate needs, larger programs, or project needs. All grants are reviewed at the PBF board meeting on the third Wednesday of each month.

The grant application, process details, and report form are in the “How to Apply for a Grant” section below.

REVIEW SELECTION PROCESS

Applications are reviewed by the PBF Grants Committee and the district administrator to determine whether they align with the district’s mission, curriculum, and financial capacity. Upon receiving a recommendation from the district administration and the PBF Grants Committee, the full PBF Board of Directors will make the final decision.

GRANT REQUIREMENTS

Approved grant recipients must provide progress reports, images of grant usage, and budget documents as requested. The PBF may use this information for publication.
