Wokingham Greenredeem School Donations Programme – July to December 2017
Background
The Greenredeem School Donations programme encourages local schools to apply for and receive grants as a result of Greenredeem points donations from members in their local community.
Once approved, schools will be hosted on the Greenredeem website in the form of a league table. The school’s place on the table will be determined by how many points have been donated and the table will be updated live on the Greenredeem website. Any resident who is a registered member of the Greenredeem programme can choose to donate their points to their selected schools.
The more registered members who earn points for their recycling the sooner they can donate those points and the higher up the table the school will be. Schools will perform better if they can engage their pupils and parents to join and donate their points.
In January 2018 the followingprizes will awarded:
- 1st prize: £1,000
- 2nd prize: £650
- 3rd prize: £350
There may also be spot prizes available for those schools who don’t make the top three!
Applications are welcomed from any school in the borough who want to positively impact their neighbourhood.
Guidelines for the Greenredeem School Donations programme are as follows:
All grants will be dependent on donated points from Greenredeem members. There is no pointto pound correlation. The top three prizes will be given to the schools with the most points donated and there may also be spot prizes available.
Greenredeem is not asking for schools to apply for funding of specific projects. We would suggest though that schools attempt to tell their story in a way that will encourage not only their immediate community to donate but be compelling to a wider audience.
All grant recipients may be required to report back to Greenredeem by the end of the funding year with outcomes, photos, and supporting documentation that may be used for future communications by Greenredeem and your local council.
How to apply:
- Complete the grant application and submit via email to by 16 June 2017.
- Applications will then be reviewed by a designated panel of Greenredeem and approved schoolsposted to the donations page of Greenredeem.co.uk, by 1st July 2017.
- We will notify all applicants via email of the status of their application.
- If your school is selected, funding will be dependent on points donated towards your school by Greenredeem members.
- Greenredeem will offer downloadable printable materials so that schools can encourage as many people as possible to donate their Greenredeem points.
- Grant cheques in support of the programme will be issued in the new year.
- The participants of the selection panel will be agreed by Greenredeem and the local council and may contain representatives from Greenredeem and the Council as well as other suitable members.
- Greenredeem and the Council reserve the right to request and review the spending intentions for winning schools before issuing the final monetary award.
- Acceptance in the programme does not guarantee funding. Schools must engage their community, pupils and parents to donate their points in support of their school.
