GRANT FUNDING | COMMITTEE FORMS

Thank you for your interest in applying for a grant through the Southington Education Foundation, Inc.

To date we have awarded nearly $300,000 in grants View the grants we've awarded.

The SEF provides grants to educators in the Southington Public schools. The grants allow educators to improve the quality of public education above and beyond the conventional curriculum, identifying and addressing needs, challenges, and concerns unique to their students. The educational program should reflect the SEF mission statement as well as coordinate with existing curricula.

The SEF funds projects that enhance the educational experience and demonstrate the viability of model programs that could be implemented throughout the school system and encourage creativity and excellence in both teaching and learning, that would otherwise not be funded out of the regular Board of Education budget.

The SEF wants educators to use this opportunity to apply “out of the box thinking” in the proposed projects.
