Strong Schools.
Strong Community.
Celebrating 20 years!
The Foundation grew out of conversations in 2005 among a group of Falmouth residents who believed that strong public schools are essential to a strong community. Since awarding our first grants in 2006, Falmouth Education Foundation (FEF) has funded over 900 teacher-created projects totaling over $1,800,000.
Grant Programs
Since 2006, FEF has supported innovative projects that enhance teaching and learning in the Falmouth Public Schools. Grants are for classroom activities, projects and staff development that promote opportunities for all students.
Our current grants include:
For the 2024-2025 school year, FEF awarded 31 Project Grants and 50 Mini-Grants. Funding for FEF is made available through the generosity and commitment of donors.
