Grants-TEF Operating Policy

The TEF will use up to 60% of total undesignated revenue from the prior year to fund grants using the following grant types:

Teacher/Staff Grants (funded by TEF only) must not exceed $3000 per grant. This grant cycle will be at the beginning of the school year only.

Collaborative Grants over $3000 will require other partners, which could include the school district and/or other outside parties. Other financial partners must cover not less than 40% of the total expenses of the grant. These grants can be submitted anytime during the school year.

Mini-Grants for Teacher/Staff: These Grants can be up to $1000 and will be accepted November – January. 

New Teacher Grants are available to new employed teachers.
