Important Consideration for all JMF Grants

Annual grants are awarded in January for a period of one year only. All projects must be completed within that year, unless approved for extension due to special circumstances.
Any unused monies, if applicable, must be returned to the Jarrett Meeker Foundation upon completion of the funded project, but no later than January 31st of the following fiscal year.
Transportation is typically not funded, but MAY be reviewed and considered depending on the degree of necessity to the implementation of the grant.
The Board may consider partial funding of a grant request.
As an all volunteer Board, the Jarrett Meeker Foundation favors grants which include a significant component of volunteer services on the part of grant applicants.
Authorizations and Signatures
Each grant application MUST provide authorized signatures. Below are listed the guidelines detailing which authorized signatures will be needed on any grant application submitted to the Jarrett Meeker Foundation.
A. Grants that benefit any public schools
  Programs at a single school require the authorizing signature of that school's principal.
Programs at more than one school require the authorizing signature of each school's principal.
Programs that involve all schools in the district require an authorizing signature from Central Administration personnel, such as the Superintendent of Schools.
B. Grants that benefit the greater San Diego Community - Community-based grants require the authorizing signature of an appropriate representative from each organization in the project.
