MEF Annual Teacher Grants

MEF Annual Teacher Grants
Proceeds from the MEF golf tournament fund our annual teacher grants program. We invite you to submit a proposal for up to $500 in funding to cover the cost of a particular project you have in mind. The deadline for submission is August 31, 2024 at 5 pm.

Go here to review all the guidelines, rules, and scoring procedures MEF uses to award grants. Keep in mind that funds are limited and while we do typically grant the majority of requests, we cannot guarantee it. To date, we have issued more than 1400 grants to teachers valued at more than $400K.

Lastly, it's important that we celebrate your ideas and use of these funds as an informal report back to our donors. Doug Perry will contact you sometime after you receive and implement your funding to do that. You can see examples of this in the Murray Moments portion of MurrayEducationFoundation.org
