New and Improved (hopefully!)
2010-2011
NEF Grants Program
We have heard feedback from educators and grant applicants
and made improvements to our revised 2010-2011 NEF Grants
Program.
Many educators asked to keep the grant program “teacher-directed” without
imposing a specific grant topic. We’ve
done that.
Many educators asked to simplify the application form and
requirements. We’ve done that.
Beginning this year, NEF will award grants twice a year. The
first round of applications is due October 15, 2010 and
the second round of applications is due February 11, 2011. The
forms are the same whether you are applying for a $100
idea or a $10,000 idea. Grant applications will
be evaluated by a committee comprised of NEF Board members
and other members of the community. Successful applicants
will be informed 4-6 weeks after the submission deadline.
Please consider applying for a NEF Grant this year. We
hope to have participation from all grade levels, all subject
areas, and all Natick schools. You can email questions
to NEFgrants@gmail.com.
Is your grant health related? Please considering applying
for a grant from the Metrowest Community Health
Care Foundation.
