All grant proposals must obtain internal approval before being submitted. The grant application process is mapped below, or see the Grants Process Overview: (Identify Grant link, Intent to Apply form link)

Once your grant proposal is complete, and no less than one week before the grant proposal is due, submit your proposal to the Office of Federal & State Grants, Programs, and Compliance at grants@bostonpublicschools.org.

The Office of Federal & State Grants, Programs, and Compliance will facilitate obtaining any necessary signatures, review your proposal, and work with you to determine next steps for submitting. 

Superintendent's Signature on a Proposal: If the grant application requires a signed MOU, MOA, or agreement, it must be reviewed and approved by the Legal Department. The Office of Federal & State Grants, Programs, and Compliance will work with the appropriate teams to coordinate approvals and obtain all signatures. All documents requiring signature must be submitted at least one week (7 days) before they are due. All proposals must be submitted through the Intent to Apply form and obtain approval to move forward from the Grants Review Team before signatures will be obtained. 

Letters of Support:  If a grant requires a Letter of Support, the Office of Federal & State Grants, Programs, and Compliance will facilitate obtaining all signatures from the Superintendent and Mayor (for Federal Grants). Once the Intent to Apply has been reviewed and approved by the Grants Review Team, please complete the online Letter of Support Request Form.  All letters requiring signature must be submitted at least one week (7 days) before they are due. 

If you are requesting a Letter of Support from BPS not tied to a BPS grant application, please complete the online Letter of Support Request Form and  the Office of Federal & State Grants, Programs, and Compliance will follow up with next steps.
