The EFLM Allocations Committee normally accepts applications on a rolling basis for consideration in November, February, and May.
Note that the Grants program has been temporarily suspended for the 2017-18 cycle, as we retool our application process. Please read the EFLM Grant Guidelines for more detailed information on applying for a grant. Grant applicants are not expected to attend the Allocations Committee meetings. Notification is generally made within four weeks of the meeting. Questions? Please contact us. |
EligibilityProposals may be submitted by district administrators, staff and faculty members, and/or parents. The appropriate building principal or district administrator must approve the proposal before it is submitted.

The minimum grant awarded is $1,000; the maximum grant is generally $5,000, but this amount may be exceeded in special circumstances. The EFLM does not support items or services that are regularly part of the school budget, nor does it grant individual scholarships. |
