PR Grant
Grants up to $500 will be evaluated individually by the NWOEA PR Committee until a total of $5,000 has been awarded. Grants will be awarded on a first come, first served basis. Please be as detailed and descriptive as possible and note that only projects listed on the application will be funded. The application deadline is Friday, November 3, 2017. Locals will receive notification of grant application approval within two weeks of the application deadline.
The requirements for receiving grant funding are as follows:
Upon approval of a local’s PR grant application, half of the approved funding will be paid to the local treasurer. Upon verification of attendance at required RA’s/events, receipt of all documentation, and evidence of a successful FCPE drive, a check for the remainder of the grant money will be mailed within twenty (20) days. If the above requirements are not met, the local will be ineligible for a Public Relations Grant for one year.
The requirements for receiving grant funding are as follows:
- Each local must have elected delegate(s) to the Fall 2017 Ohio Education Association Representative Assembly (OEA RA), the Spring 2018 OEA RA, and the Spring 2018 NWOEA RA. A local delegate must be present and voting at these three assemblies.
- Each local must show evidence of a successful OEA Fund for Children and Public Education (FCPE) drive by June 1, 2018 for the 2017-2018 school year. A successful FCPE drive will be defined in 2017-2018 as 11% of the membership of a local contributing to a FCPE drive.
- Attendance is required at three Representative Assemblies and at two of the following: any NWOEA hosted workshop, the NWOEA Awards Banquet, or any other NWOEA special event. NWOEA events known at this time for 2017-2018 are as follows: July 25 2017 – Treasurer’s Workshop; October 24, 2017 – Fall Workshop; and March 6, 2018 – Awards Banquet. Watch the NWOEA website (www.nwoea.org) for additional events that may occur.
- The following documentation of the project must be submitted to the Public Relations Committee within 60 days after the completion of the grant project: pictures (preferably digital), a write-up in the form of a news article, and the completed PR Grant Final Cost Report form with itemized receipts. Documentation must cover the original project as approved by the NWOEA PR Committee. If your local did not complete its 2016-2017 grant project within the 2016-2017 school year in which the grant was awarded, a letter must be written giving the date you intend to complete the project. This letter of intent must be received by November 1, 2017, by the NWOEA Center if your local wants to be eligible for grant money in the 2017-2018 school year.
- Student scholarship programs will not be considered.
