Grants
The East Pennsboro Education Foundation proudly supports East Pennsboro Area School District by offering grant funding for projects, initiatives, and activities which will enhance education. EPEF aims to encourage innovative programs to promote academic excellence and educational quality.

- Provide a significant and defined benefit to targeted beneficiaries.
- Have potential for replication, dissemination and sustainability across classrooms, grades, teachers and/or schools.

What are the grant conditions?
Grant requests may be submitted by teachers, students, administrators or community groups within the EPASD and may seek full or partial support.
- Grant funds may not be used for salaries or teacher stipends.
- At the conclusion of the grant-funded project, recipients of the grant are expected to present the results of the project to the Foundation and may also be asked to present their project results to the EPASD administration or school board and within the school community. Applicants agree that all materials, including photography, can be used by the Foundation for public relations or marketing activities.
- Any equipment or materials purchased through a Foundation grant becomes the property of EPASD and are not the property of the applicant.
