What can I submit a request for?
Requests can be submitted for funding for any item that cannot be purchased through CAIU program budget funds. Additionally, requesters are encouraged to have explored additional funding streams (e.g. PTO, Social Worker Resources, Faith-Based Groups, Agency Resources, and/or government assistance).
How to Submit a Request
Please complete all portions of the Request for Funds Form prior to sending along to your supervisor for approval. If you have questions or concerns while completing the form, please reach out to Kellie Custer at championsforchildren@caiu.org.
What happens after a request is submitted ?
After a request is approved by the program supervisor (to confirm that program budget funds are not appropriate for the request), the form is sent to the committee for review. The committee members are asked to approve or reject the request. A majority vote is needed to approve a request.
If the requester has indicated that they would be willing to purchase the items and receive reimbursement, they will be notified of the approval. Following the purchase of the items, receipts are submitted and reimbursement is processed.
If the requester is not able/willing to seek reimbursement, information on specific costs (i.e. invoices, links to purchase, etc) can be provided. The items will be purchased and provided to the requester.
