NWOEA is excited to
announce four new grants that are available for 2009-2010! In order
to build capacity for greater involvement of our members, these
grants will provide the opportunity for more NWOEA locals to be
involved in the Fund for Children and Public Education (FCPE) and to
be represented at the OEA RA and the NEA RA. Below is a description
of each new grant.
NWOEA Engage Grant
– FCPE Drive Assistance
The purpose of this
grant is to provide training, support, and incentive for a local to
conduct a FCPE (Fund for Children and Public Education) drive. This
grant will reimburse up to $150 each to two locals per NWOEA unit
whose FCPE percentage of member participation was 5% or less last
year (2008-2009). Locals will need to submit a plan, a schedule, and
the name of the designated drive chair; make contact with an
assigned NWOEA support person; and submit receipts for
reimbursement. A grant application form is enclosed.

NWOEA Engage Grant
– Local Delegate Assistance to OEA Spring RA
This grant will
reimburse $100 for overnight lodging and $50 for mileage to a
delegate attending the OEA Spring RA from a local that has not sent
delegates to an OEA RA in the previous five school years. Preference
will be given to delegates who attend the OEA Fall RA and whose
local has the highest percentage of member participation in Public
Education (FCPE) as of December 31, 2009. Receipts would be required
for reimbursement of up to $150. Any delegate interested in applying
for this grant should submit a letter of interest to the NWOEA
Center by November 1, 2009, and it should include delegate contact
information and local association president’s signature
NWOEA Engage Grant
– Cluster Delegate to NEA RA
This grant will
provide funding for an additional cluster delegate to attend the
2010 NEA RA. Locals of 75 or fewer members who have not had a NEA
delegate in the past five (5) years are eligible to receive this
grant. Locals clustering together would follow OEA guidelines. Total
possible funding is $1,600, but the amount will not exceed the
amount budgeted by OEA for a state delegate.
NWOEA Engage Grant
– Local Delegate Assistance
to NEA RA
This grant will
provide funding of $750 for the 2010 NEA RA to a delegate from a
local of 76 members or more that has not had a NEA RA delegate in
the past five (5) years. It is the intent of this grant to provide
delegate assistance for each of the three NWOEA units. To be
eligible for this grant, a local would have to hold a local NEA RA
election following the NEA guidelines and send delegates to the
NWOEA RA with the intent that the actual grant applicant attends the
NWOEA RA. Any delegate interested in applying for this grant should
submit a copy of his/her local NEA RA election form as sent to OEA
and a letter of interest including delegate contact information and
local association president’s signature to the NWOEA Center by
February 10, 2010.
