HOW IT WORKS

Simply complete the application form and tell us what school supplies are needed and why. No amount is too small and there is no limit to the number of requests submitted per teacher.

Requests must be received by the last day of the month to be considered for the upcoming month's grants. Applications may be submitted for the current school year from September - April 30th. Any request received after April 30th will be reviewed for the next school year and will be reviewed in the middle of September.

We highly encourage you to send your request via email, however if you prefer to send it regular mail please send it to:

The Village Properties Teacher's Fund
c/o Donna Jordon
1250 Coast Village Road
Santa Barbara, CA 93108

If you have any questions please contact Dawn Villone at dawn@echomediainc.com or 805-705-3337.

Within the first two weeks of the month, The Judges Committee reviews all the grants from the previous month's requests. Dollars are awarded and notification letters are sent out by the end of the month via EMAIL.

It is imperative that you include your personal email address on your request so that you receive your notification letter as many of the school's filters will not allow the notification letters to go through.

Once you receive notification, simply purchase the items you requested and mail the original receipts along with your notification letter to Donna Jordon, 1250 Coast Village Road, Santa Barbara CA 93108.

RECEIPTS MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 45 DAYS OF THE DATE OF NOTIFICATION.

A check will be made out directly to you and mailed within 14 business days. If receipts are not turned in within the 45 dates the monies awarded will go back into the fund to grant other teachers requests.
