Dear Teachers and Administrators,

Welcome to the Cape Elizabeth Education Foundation website page for Grants. Twice a year, we encourage you to fill out an application for professional development grants or for classroom grants. We have currently completed our spring 2008 grants cycle and will be reviewing new proposals in October, 2008.

Fall 2008 will mark the twelfth time CEEF has funded requests from faculty and administration for opportunities to expand educational experiences for both teachers and students. It is CEEF's mission to foster innovation and excellence in our schools, and our role is to fund initiatives that fall outside the school budget. The process is competitive to the extent that we usually receive grant requests totaling more than our budgeted allocations for each cycle, but we encourage you to apply and to share your ideas with us.

The current application is available for download. Please note that the deadline for applications is October 9, 2008. Applications may be sent electronically to the e-mail address below.

The CEEF Grants Committee, made up of a faculty advisor from each school, CEEF board members, and several community members, reviews all the applications. We will invite each applicant to make a short presentation to the committee (to be scheduled during the last weeks of October). This will give all of us a chance to ask questions and exchange information. After the presentations, the Committee goes into closed session to determine the funding recommendations to CEEF's Board of Directors. These recommendations will be presented to the Board in November, and all applicants will receive notice of the decisions shortly afterwards.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. We look forward to receiving your applications by October 9th. Meanwhile, you may wish to review some of our past projects by following the links above.

Sincerely,

Sarah Price
