The Englewood Education Foundation provides grants to promote, implement and support innovative educational projects that are not supported through traditional school district funding, but help with the goals to graduate the leaders, thinkers and explorers of tomorrow. The grants help fund projects that prepare all students for future success through learning, leading, engagement and action.

Program impact

The creativity grant program has allowed teachers in the district to try new innovative things in the classroom for many years that they would not otherwise be able to try. Not only do these grants promote innovation, but creativity as well.

One of our teachers captured precisely how these grants added value in their classroom:

"Englewood Education Foundation has been a huge supporter of Englewood Schools for many years. Throughout my 17 years with the district, I have written several grants requesting funds for my classroom. Last year, I was awarded a grant from EEF to purchase 30 ukuleles and 30 ukulele tuners for my music classroom. I was able to teach over 300 children to play the ukulele. I also held after school lessons for teachers. Students and teachers learned to read music and performed in front of large audiences."

Award range: $1,000 - $10,000+​
