For grant requests of $5,000 or more, take note of the following:

In support of our mission, we encourage the four following areas for grant requests of $5,000 or more, but we welcome all grant requests for our consideration.

• Student Well-Being: PSF supports an all-around approach to student health to help them achieve their academic goals. School counselors, teachers, and members of the administration are in a great position to identify resources that can help.
• Faculty and Staff Support, Recruitment, and Retention: Recruiting and retaining our amazing teachers and staff is one way to help maintain our excellent school system. Supporting faculty and staff can come in many forms, from professional development training to new games or resources in the classroom.
• STEM: PSF loves considering any creative request that allows our students to experience a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics project in real life (e.g., 3D printers or pens, exploring the prairie project, field trips).
• Arts: We look for unique opportunities for students in fine and performing arts to develop their craft and offer them new experiences.

We are also impressed when multiple departments within the district work collaboratively. Interdisciplinary requests that demonstrate creative problem solving are encouraged and may be more likely to be fully supported.
