Grant Description

Grants to Connecticut nonprofit organizations, schools, and government agencies in eligible locations for creative and innovative educational projects. Funding is intended for activities and projects that enrich the learning experience, increase skills and knowledge, and expand students' perspectives. Projects must take place in Granby and surrounding towns.

The program's goal is to encourage educators, within the local schools and throughout the community, to find new ways to make learning dynamic and challenging, both for themselves and for their students.

Grants may be used for educational initiatives that fall outside existing budgets, such as:

Visiting authors and guest speakers
Seed money to help launch innovative new programs
Educational materials and equipment which support innovative programming

The GEF funds programs that:

Illustrate innovation and creativity,
Enrich educational offerings; and
Offer unique learning opportunities.

In addition, grant proposals should:

Have a clearly defined action plan,
Provide appropriate evaluation criteria; and
Demonstrate a breadth of impact.
