Grantmaking in Our Community
Since 2005, FEF has supported innovative projects that enhance teaching and learning in the Falmouth Public Schools through competitive grant-making programs Grants are for classroom activities, projects and/or staff development. Our four types of grants, new projects, continuing projects, mini-grants, and partnership grants have ranged from single classroom projects to district-wide initiatives, often with community partners, and have impacted all schools, all grades, and all disciplines. In spring 2019, the Foundation surpassed $1M in total funding to Falmouth educators.

FEF Grant Programs
Project Grants The application deadline for both new project grants and the continuing project grants is April 1, 2020. Grants are awarded in mid-May.
Teacher Opportunity Mini-Grants Mini-grants are awarded on a rolling basis to help cover the cost of unexpected educational opportunities that impact learning. Applications are reviewed and grants awarded throughout the school year, September 1 through May 15 and are limited to $300 per grant. Click here for the mini-grant application. Partnership Grants On occasion and depending on available resources, FEF may consider a third type of request outside the normal grant cycle. FEF Partnership Grants serve an identified need, have broad impact, are supported and promoted by the Superintendent of Schools, and include some form of “partnership contribution” from the FPS. For more information on the Partnership grant program, contact Meghan Buckley, mbuckley.fef@gmail.com Student Impact Grants Beginning in January 2020, Student Impact Grants will be awarded to Falmouth public school students who want to make a difference in their schools or communities. The grants will be awarded on a rolling basis awarded throughout the school year and are up to $300. The service activity for which the grant is awarded should positively impact the students’ school or community, must be guided by a teacher and supported by the principal from the students’ school, and include at least two students as co-applicants.
