Grant Application Guidelines
JES & Co. was founded in 1997 in Tucson, Arizona to provide youth with balanced environments that enable development of effective communication skills through the use of technology. With over fifty years of background in education and technology, individually and collectively, the founders of JES & Co. realized that there is a critical need for an organization with both the desire and the qualifications to assess need; synthesize working solutions from available resources, work to enhance the communication skills among students, schools, parents and communities; and manage public, private and corporate funds responsibly to achieve that end.
Because funds are limited, we are unable to act favorably on all requests received. Each request is carefully evaluated to determine general eligibility and compliance with our guidelines and available funds. JES & Co. grants are not intended to constitute 100% support for inclusion in programs. There are no guarantees of amounts or inclusion.
All organizations seeking participation with JES & Co. must have a 501(c) (3) designation from the Internal Revenue Service and submit a copy of the determination letter indicating such status with its requests. Contribution requests complying with the requirements outlined below will be eligible for consideration. Verification of approval or declination is made as quickly as possible.
Requests for participation should consist of a letter outlining:
	The purpose of the request
	The sponsoring organization
	Anticipated budget
	Amount of request
	Additional funding sources
	Organizational structure  (charter school, district, federal, state, local)
	The unique and/or continued need for the request
	The number of additional student seats requested
	The number of additional instructors participating
	Requested start date
