Your application should identify a specific student learning need, explain your innovative approach, and describe the opportunities your project will create.
GEF does not fund:
Field trips, teacher development, or program fees.
Previously funded projects, unless new technology or updates meaningfully change their purpose and scope.
Projects made up entirely of consumable supplies, unless another funding source will replace those supplies so the project can continue.
-
Applications are reviewed by the GEF Grants Committee, which recommends projects to the full Board for funding approval. Recipients receive an award decision and a timeline for using their funds. Applicants will be notified of funding decisions within 30 days of the application deadline.
Ace Impact Grants
Up to $500 for student- or teacher-led projects. Apply Anytime!
Have a project that could make a difference in student learning and cannot wait to get started? Ace Impact Grants are interim grants that accept applications anytime throughout the school year, so you can apply without waiting for a seasonal grant cycle.
Applications are reviewed at the next GEF Board meeting, typically held on the third Monday of each month. Applicants are notified shortly afterward. Awards depend on available funding.
