GRANT PRESENTATION GUIDELINES (A)

Congratulations on being invited to develop a proposal for a Radnor Educational Foundation grant.  Following is a brief checklist to help you as you prepare for the grant meeting presentation.  Because all members of the grants committee will have thoroughly read your application in advance of the meeting, the 15 minute presentation time should be used to highlight the following for the committee:

• How is this project aligned to REF's mission to enrich the educational experience, maintain academic excellence and encourage innovative opportunities for the students of the Radnor Township School District?

• How is this project an "investment" in Radnor students and the community?

• How many students will the program serve? Please be as specific as possible, providing the school, the number of students and the grade level(s).

• Who else in the community will be involved to make this project a success? e. Teachers, School Administrators, Parents

• Will this project be able to fund itself in future years? If no, what is the plan for success in the future?

• What other resources are being used to fund the project, if any? i.e. PTO, private funding

PLEASE NOTE, you will have sevenminutes only for your presentation, followed by eight minutes when committee members may ask questions to clarify or better understand your project.

A special note regarding video: if you would like the committee to view video or read supplemental documentation, please email these materials to grants administrator Theji Brennan (thejibrennan@radnoreducationalfoundation.org) in advance of the meeting.  These materials will be uploaded to the grants drive shared by committee members, who will review them in advance of your presentation.
