NEOEA - Awards and Grants - Community Involvement

Community Involvement Grants

Strengthening the relationship between a local school employee union and its community is a key element in building a strong and successful local association. Nothing cements these relationships like working together to benefit others in the community. Participation in community events also offers affiliates the opportunity to enhance their visibility as vital, contributing members of their communities.

NEOEA is offering up to 25 Community Involvement Grants in 2012-13 to encourage local affiliates to become actively involved in a local charitable event such as the American Cancer Society Relay for Life, Reach Out and Read, Special Olympics, the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, or other highly-visible community charitable event.

Details of the program:

NEOEA affiliates may apply for funding up to $100 to assist with registration/participation fees and/or purchase items to enhance the affiliate’s visibility during the event.

Applications will be considered on an ongoing basis and will continue to be awarded until funds are expended. Early submission helps ensure funding.

To apply, complete the form.

To qualify for funding, NEOEA requires:

Participation in the event by local affiliate members.

Submission of a news release announcing the affiliate’s participation to local community news outlet(s).

Submission of a photo of members participating in the event to NEOEA along with copies of any news coverage (local newsletter coverage is acceptable) no more than two weeks following the event.

NEOEA funding for community involvement is considered “seed” money and full funding will not be granted to affiliates for more than two consecutive years. It is hoped that the local affiliate will build the activity into their local budget over that period and be prepared to continue the program after the initial investment period.

Entries will be judged in groups to be submitted by the following dates: December 5, 2012, or April 26, 2013.

Please note: Grants are not awarded to purchase equipment or supplies normally used by local associations to conduct routine business, to fund student or staff scholarships, to purchase instructional materials, or to reimburse costs of internal activities.
