Program History
 | Established in September,
1984, the East Lansing Educational Foundation recognizes that the
quality of an educational system and the vitality of the community it
serves are inexorably intertwined. In hopes of nourishing and
strengthening this relationship, the Foundation, through the use of
private resources, has committed its support to programs and projects
which supplement the educational opportunities available to our
children.
The Grants for Teachers program
was designed to fulfill this mission. Currently, the Grants
Committee accepts and processes grant applications in the spring. Over the last ten years, more than
$200,000.00 has been awarded by this program. The grants have enhanced
the learning environment for all students by reaching each and every one
of the ELPS schools. |
