At the heart of the Education Foundation of Lower Merion is its Grants program.

Open to teachers, administrators, parents, or community members with innovative ideas that enhance the Lower Merion School District's educational program, the Grants program since 2007 has allocated over $100,000 in funds in a variety of areas.

The Foundation's Allocations Committee welcomes proposals on a rolling basis. Note that the EFLM does not support items or services that are regularly part of the schools budget, nor does it grant individual scholarships.
