Grants

The Brewster Education Foundation raises funds to foster and encourage extraordinary public education programs in the Brewster public school district. The Foundation’s goal is to promote excellence in Brewster public education. To achieve this, the Foundation funds innovative educational projects that would not be available through regular school budgeting. This is accomplished through the Foundation’s Grant program, which is open to any teacher in the Brewster Central School District.

Please note: we now ask the Grant Request Form to be submitted electronically to grants@bef.org. One hard copy with appropriate signatures should be mailed or dropped off to the BEF office. The Foundation now has one grant cycle per school year – with applications due on Friday, January 22, 2010.

The Brewster Education Foundation Grant Program entertains one-time and multi-year funding requests in the Brewster school district for unique, innovative, or creative projects of a significant nature. Such projects are not normally funded through the regular school budget.

Consideration is given to projects utilizing an interdisciplinary approach or a team approach at a grade level, multi-grade level, or department level. From the mid-1980s through 2009 the Foundation has been proud to award over $360,000 to dozens of worthy projects!
