The Teresa Weatherall Neal Principal’s Fund (TWNPF) fund was developed to provide resources to support enrichment opportunities and strengthen student confidence by ensuring access to materials not covered by the school budget.

It is a flexible fund in which principals can request up to $2,000 per school to support educational enrichment and emergent needs of our young scholars. This allows principals to determine what needs can be remedied quickly such as providing students with warm winter gear, field trips, or celebrations.

Examples of Past Grant Projects:

Warm clothing - check with Foundation for existing supply

Class field trips

Cap & gown for specific students

Hygiene products, haircuts, or classroom cleaning and maintenance supplies

Formal dance expenses, ie decor and celebrations

Classroom library books

Scholar centered clubs or afterschool clubs

Bus passes

A one-time project

Example of ineligible Principals Fund request:

PBIS, or items covered with GRPS funding

t-shirts or spiritwear

general snacks 

water bottles 

items that can be covered by other agencies i.e., mortgage/rent, electric/gas bill, healthcare 

Our grant applications will be awarded two times per school year with the Fall deadline October 15, 2024 and and Spring deadline February 10, 2025. Awards will be made in November 2024 and March 2025. Applications will be submitted on-line through our website www.grpsf.org.   

All projects must be approved by the principal before submitting application.  Applications will be reviewed by the GRPS Foundation Board of Directors and grant committee.

The Foundation reserves the right to change this process. Grants are a one-time award and must be used in the same academic year. 

The Foundation grants are funded by community donations. To help us spread the word about how grants enhance education in our community, successful grant applicants will be asked to provide an impact report including photographs, recipient narrative regarding the outcomes, quotes from impacted students, etc. These photographs and impact stories will be utilized by the Foundation in our various media releases.
