These grants are offered to help fund activities that are innovative and have a far-reaching effect.

This application process is not closed and is in the evaluation stage. SPEF will announce the winners in November.
SPEF Major Grants Application Deadline is December 2, 2019
The SPEF board reserves a significant pool of money each year to help launch or sustain ambitious projects — whether it be new course offerings, instructional equipment or staff training — that the district could not otherwise afford. The board’s Major Grants Committee solicits applications from school administrators for one-time or multi-year funding; the applications must address specific objectives, lay out the activities that will be undertaken to achieve those objectives and provide a timeline. The committee evaluates the proposal’s potential short- and long-term impact as well as the sustainability of the program. And once the funds are awarded, the committee follows up with formal progress reports to measuring whether the project delivered the outcomes the district sought.
