Grants

GEF accepts grant applications from District 34 teachers and administrators for innovative ideas they would like to implement in their classrooms and schools.

​

Last school year, GEF was able to award $62,808 in grants. $19,573 was awarded in Fall of 2018, and $43,235 was awarded in Spring of 2019. Since 2001, GEF has awarded over $2,000,000 to District 34. 

​

Thanks to GEF Donors, we are able to fund grants such as the Maker Modules. This program was approved for funding in Fall of 2017 and implemented in the 2018-2019 school year. Today, the Maker Modules program is the STEM curriculum for all students grades K-5 in District 34. Students learn through hands-on lessons in construction, circuitry, and robotics/coding. This is all possible because of our donors.
