The Holy Spirit School Board Grant Committee procures funds for the school through a lengthy process. Initially members search resources which profile foundations all the while targeting possible donors for the school. The Grants Committee then matches possible grants with specific project needs around campus. Formal letters of request are then mailed to prospective organizations.
From here the waiting begins as the committee awaits the foundation’s response. At this point a letter of denial, acceptance or inquiry can be returned to our parish school. Inquiries can be a request for additional information or an onsite visit. The school hosted a few campus visitations in October and November.
The Grant Committee’s hard work has really paid off for the parish school. Three grants have been awarded so far this year:
Crescent Porter Hale Foundation - $15,000 for the capital improvements
Carl Gellert and Celia Berta Gellert Foundation - $5,000 for Technology Program
Trust Funds Inc - $10,000 for Technology Program
Congratulations to the Grant Committee on achieving this terrific grant funding for Holy Spirit School!
