Grant Application

The primary purpose of the Hudsonville Education Foundation is to provide funding for academic resources, activities and initiatives that enhance and enrich the educational experience for students at Hudsonville Public Schools. 

Any category of employee is invited to apply for a grant in any amount up to $2,000. 

The Foundation awards grants that align with and enhance district curriculum and instruction and looks favorably upon grant requests that would positively impact a large number of students over a multi-year span of time. 

Please ensure your building principal or direct supervisor is aware of your grant application before submission so they can confirm the department, building or district hasn’t already budgeted for or purchased the requested resources. 

Grants are evaluated in collaboration with Hudsonville Public Schools Curriculum/Instruction, Technology, Special Education and Facilities and Maintenance Departments. 

All grants awarded become property of Hudsonville Public Schools. Grant applicants agree to work with the Hudsonville Education Foundation to provide grant updates, photography opportunities and quotes/testimonials if awarded with grant funding.
