Grant Request
It is the Valley Christian Booster Club (VCBC) Board of Director’s intent to recognize all athletic activities fairly and equitably.
1) WHAT MAY GRANT MONEY BE USED FOR?
Funds for Equipment and Supplies The Board will attempt to fund as many requests as possible for capital equipment and supplies such as: uniforms, team clothing, and associated equipment necessary for Valley Christian High School Athletics.
Funds for Travel The Board may fund travel requests.
Funds for Social Events The Board may consider requests for funds to be applied for social events, end of season parties, team-building events, or awards for teams.
Funds for Extraordinary Items The Board will consider requests for funds for extraordinary items not specifically set forth above.
In considering all requests, the Board shall consider its Mission, Bylaws, Goals and Guidelines set forth herein.
2) HOW ARE GRANTS APPROVED?
Each grant request will be reviewed and voted on by the Board. The decision to approve a disbursement shall be made by a majority vote of Board members present during the grant request review. Consideration for assigning funds will be carried out as fairly and equitably as possible according to a number of criteria, including but not limited to:
• The amount of funds available
• The amount of the grant request
• The amount of funds recently disbursed to a particular activity
• The number of students affected by the request
• The urgent need for the request
The Board prefers to consider activity requests prior to the purchase of equipment, supplies, travel or extraordinary items. Requests made for VCBC funds after purchases have occurred will not be presumed to be reimbursed but will be considered according to the above-mentioned criteria and will not take priority or have preference over other requests.
3) HOW OFTEN WILL FUNDS BE DISTRIBUTED?
At the discretion of the Board, the Board will attempt to fund requests four times a year, during the months of September, December, February and May. However, exceptions may be made at the full discretion of the Board.
