IMPACT GRANTS
Educational Improvement IMPACT GRANTS represent the first grant program offered by the Foundation. In 1992, 12 grants totaling $23,000 were awarded. IMPACT GRANTS continue to fund new strategies and methodologies designed to motivate students and keep alive their natural eagerness to learn. These innovative student-based ideas must demonstrate measurable results and have the ability to be replicated at other school campuses.

Members of the Public Education Foundation Grant Review Committee are selected from the business and education community and from the members of the Board of the Clark County Public Education Foundation. The committe reviews and judges each grant application on the following:

• Ability to provide an innovative solution to an important education issue

• Potential to significantly impact learning

• Clarity

• Evaluation design

• Ability of the project to be replicated or adapted

After the awards are made and the grants are implemented:

• A project audit is conducted by an Audit Team composed of one member of the business community and one member from the education community.

• A final project report is required from the grant recipient.

At the end of each school year, Education Improvement IMPACT GRANT applications and instructions are distributed district-wide by the Clark County Public Education Foundation. An announcement is also made in the spring and fall issues of the Clark County School District HOTLINE.
