CARE Fund
Special Projects Grant Program
The CARE Fund is the source of CARE's charitable activities and is designed to provide an extra
measure of support to the colleges in the Chabot-Las Positas
Community College District.
Using CARE Fund resources, CARE has
implemented a small grant program intended to stimulate and support special
projects that
improve service to the colleges. We want to help you do a better
job of serving our students, staff, and institutions!

and successful proposals by reviewing

Guidelines
The grants are relatively small,
but the effort required to apply is similarly small, and the winning
applicants will be able to direct the awarded funds as desired. Any
area of service is eligible, and any category of employee may apply:
faculty, classified, administration, full-time, or part-time,
college or district office.
Evaluation Criterion:
Applications will be judged by this standard:
How will the project improve service to the colleges in
your area of work responsibility?
Funding Guidelines: Like
most grants, the CARE grants have a few limitations:
-
Grants are for supplies,
capital purchases, and start-up costs, not ongoing
operational costs. If you propose a new project that will be
ongoing, describe how funding will be managed in subsequent
years.
-
Grants may not be used to
pay stipends to CLPCCD employees.
-
Grants may not be used to
pay for services that are part of an employee's existing
responsibilities.
Award Limits: For
2012-2013, awards will total $1,500. You may apply for any
amount up to this limit. We encourage smaller proposals; these
have a better chance of being funded since several moderate
requests could be granted, while there could only be a single
$1,500 winner.
Report: Please note that CARE will require a
one-paragraph outcome report at the completion of the project.
We want to share your work with the college community.
Examples: Previous winning
proposals can provide a sense of how to win.
