Vestavia Hills City Schools Foundation
Guidelines for Grant Seekers
2025-2026
Vestavia Hills City Schools Foundation invites proposals from educators in the Vestavia Hills City Schools system for projects and programs benefiting Vestavia Hills students and teachers. Proposals should be submitted on the Vestavia Hills City Schools Foundation Grant Application Form and be postmarked no later than Monday, December 01, 2025. Grant awards will be announced in spring 2026. Funds are available no later than April 30, 2026. Grants may support projects or programs to be conducted in summer 2026 or during the 2026/2027 school year. The Foundation does not fund personnel or facility upgrades.
The Foundation encourages projects and programs…
that impact a large number of students and teachers;
that are consistent with the strategic objectives of the Vestavia Hills City Schools Board of Education;
that can be used in future years; and
that can be replicated in other schools in our system.
The Foundation is particularly interested in programs with system wide or other significant impact. The Foundation generally does not support projects that serve a limited number of people, cannot be replicated, or do not support improved student learning. Consideration will be given to proposals that provide a long-term benefit, have the potential to leverage additional dollars and volunteer participation, and have measurable results. Proposals should be endorsed by the school principal or appropriate official and should be limited to the Vestavia Hills City Schools Foundation Grant Application Form plus three additional pages.
Grants range in amount, and we encourage you to share your ideas with our Executive Director if you have questions about the application process and who is eligible to apply or require further assistance. Applications should be mailed to: VHCSF, PO Box 660483, Vestavia Hills, AL, 35266 or emailed to director@vestaviafoundation.org
