LET
KICS SPONSOR YOUR HOLIDAY SERVICE PROJECT...OR YOU CAN
PLAN A PROJECT FOR THE NEW YEAR. Examples of
previous KICS grants include: reading books to seniors
at nursing homes, cleaning up the beach front, collecting
coupons or preparing meals for food shelters, organizing
a book drive, a clothing drive or even a blood drive at
your school.
Projects must
be completed by June 1, 2007.
We intend to
honor all of our participants through public pronouncements
such as a proclamation by the Mayor and City Council,
and public recognition at a school board meeting. Each
participant will receive an award certificate.
And
now, of course, some rules.
- The maximum
amount that the 112 Foundation will fund for any single
student grant proposal is $100. We believe that this
amount should be sufficient to cover the cost of supplies
for any reasonable (and manageable) project. You must
turn in your receipts in order to receive the grant
money for reimbursement of your expenses. Plus, we’d
love to receive lots and lots of applications and want
to fund as many as possible.
- A grant
applicant must fill out the Grant
Application Form.
There must be at least one adult
sponsor for each five student participants, though there
is no limit on the number of adults (or students) that
can participate on any project.
In addition to the Form, the applicants
should include a separate piece of paper which includes
at least all of the following information: a description
of the project, the dates and times that the project
will be performed (all projects should be performed
during the spring time and should be completed by the
last day of school), transportation arrangements, rainy
day plans, needed supplies, and expected budget. Once
a grant proposal is approved, additional information
will be required from the students and adult sponsors.
- It is very
important to the 112 Foundation that photos or videos
be taken of the project in action and then presented
to the 112 Foundation for our archives, preferably via
computer email files.
- The liability
and publicity release must be filled out by the parents/guardians
of every student participant and returned with the application
form.
If you have
any questions, please feel free to call Gina Gurke at
the 112 Foundation (847) 681.6700. Ext. 226 Thanks for
your interest! We can’t wait to get our KICS with
you and all of our wonderful student volunteers! |
