2025 Grant cycle is now open!

The BFEE Board welcomes all applications for grant ideas that will further the education of the students in the BPS101 district.

• The board awards Grants each spring.
• All grade levels will be considered.
• Requests can be initiated by faculty, students, administrative personnel, parents, citizens, and other civic, governmental, or community organizations.
• The grant must benefit students of BPS101 school district.

Applications that fall into one of the innovation target areas of Technology, Thinking Strategies, Authentic Learning or Engagement Strategies will be given priority, but all applications will be considered. The document linked below has explanations and examples of these target areas.

BFEE will not fund grant projects that are deemed a curricular responsibility of BPS101.

For example grants that have been approved by BFEE, and more information on the grant target areas, please click on Innovation Target Areas above.

The requests are reviewed by a subcommittee of the Batavia Foundation. Critical criteria include:

• the number of students to benefit 
• the completion of ALL questions on the application 
• concurrence with Batavia School District goals or mission 
• ongoing benefits once the program is complete
• the inability of existing programs to meet this identified need

Application Requirements:

• Fill out ALL parts of the application. Itemized budgets should be attached or included with your grant application.
• Please do NOT include your name or school anywhere within your application. Only on the cover page. This allows for a "blind review" of your application. 
• Please discuss the project with your Principal and obtain his/her signature, in addition to required administrative signatures on the grant application.
