Funding & Grants

Each year Horizon School Division provides a grant in an amount determined annually by the Board of Education. However, schools may choose to engage in activities that benefit students but fall outside the typical realm of school programming and may support those activities through School Community Council (SCC) sponsored fundraising.

Following the Administrative Procedure, AP 520 – Fundraising, Horizon School Community Councils may hold fundraisers that reflect the values and expectations of the school community, including parents, students, staff, school administration, SCC, and the Board of Education.

In addition to fundraising, grants can be a valuable source of support for SCC initiatives. Learn more about available grant opportunities here: https://grants.horizonsd.ca. (You must be logged in with your Horizon email to access this page.)

Examples of acceptable uses of fundraising proceeds:

Field trips or other school excursions;
Guest speakers or presentations;
Ceremonies, awards, plaques, trophies or prizes;
Extracurricular activities and events (travel, equipment and entry fees for sports competitions, school band, choir, clubs);
Additional student learning or extracurricular resources, equipment, furniture, or technology that augment and complement Division-standard allocations, provided that the items conform to Division-standards and specifications; and
Additional school grounds improvements (playground equipment, gardens or greening initiatives, tracks, or fields, that augment and complement Division-standard allocations, provided that the items conform to Division-standards and specifications.)
