Grants
Your Donation Supports Our Mission
EESF offers many exciting grant opportunities for enrichment programs and projects at
Essex Elementary School. Each year at least 5% of the Essex Elementary School Foundation endowment is allocated to EES that would otherwise not be available through traditional funding by the school system and budget. Our offerings evolve to adapt to the ever-changing technologies and improvements in education maximizing students’
learning to succeed in the 21st century.
Over the years programs funded include the Justus W. Paul World Culture Program, literacy support materials, equipment for musical and physical education, playground improvements, logical thinking games, audio/visual equipment, 3D printer, an iPad lab, and an Engineering with Legos program.
Past and Present Grants
Like many other organizations this year, the Essex Elementary School Foundation (EESF), supported by the residents and community of Essex, has had to pivot from the normal grants application, approval and announcement process due to Covid. For the 2020-2021 Essex Elementary School (EES) year, the Foundation is adjusting the grants process to accommodate a more flexible application timeline in order to meet the needs of the students, teachers and school. This change will allow for teachers to apply for grants throughout the school year as unique programs are identified.
In addition to the above mentioned grants, other programs implemented at Essex Elementary School this year include: Bloom Art, Book Fair assistance, Empower! participation, LumoPlay Math and more!
