Turf's Up Project
In 2008 the Radnor Township School District and Radnor Township agreed to fund up to $250,000 each toward the installation of an artificial turf field on Prevost Field at Radnor High School. An additional $233,047 was raised through private donations from community groups and individuals. The total project cost was $710,000. REF agreed to act as the fiscal conduit for these fundraising efforts. In addition, REF awarded a grant of $4000 toward this initiative. The turf installation is now complete and has greatly enhanced the experiences and opportunities of all our athletes and community-at-large.
Application Procedure
|
REF awards grants for projects that enrich the educational
experience and foster innovative opportunities for students of
RTSD and the community. Projects may be proposed by teachers,
community members, a school staff member, or parent in
collaboration with a Radnor teacher or principal.
The Foundation makes awards up to $3,000, which can be
combined with funds from other sources.
Our aim is to supplement, but not replace, the regular
School District funding. We
look for the following in making grant selections:
|
 |
-
Will the
project be an educational innovation and coordinate with the
school curriculum?
-
Is this a pilot
project that can be replicated post the grant period?
-
What is the
long-term impact of the project?
How many students will benefit?
To
start the process, we request that you submit a brief “Letter
of Intent”. Once
we receive this, we will let you know within a week if you should
submit a more detailed Grant Application.
Once we receive an application, we will assign a grant
facilitator who will discuss your application with you, raise any
issues or questions that might need to be addressed and will then
present your project and any additional information to the Grants
Committee for consideration.
We want to make sure we understand your project so it can
be adequately represented to the Committee.
Please note that the application must be signed by the
school principal(s) that will benefit from your project.
