Lake Tahoe Educational Foundation looking for projects to fund
Submitted by paula on Sun, 08/31/2014 - 11:00pm
Lake Tahoe Educational Foundation is now accepting applications for its fall grant cycle. Applications are available online on the organization’s website www.ltedf.org and are due Sept. 26, 2014.
To provide more opportunities to apply, the nonprofit foundation that supports educational enrichment programs for the Lake Tahoe Unified School District opened the grant cycle to two applications periods, fall and spring. The foundation provides $40,000 to $60,000 annually in enrichment grants. The money is raised through Snow Sports week in February, an annual mail solicitation and through the group’s signature fundraiser in October the Food Fest.
Programs funded during the spring 2014 grant cycle included district wide programs like Farm Day, Wonders of Water, Outdoor Explore, and Children’s Forest. The foundation is a public, non-profit organization run by a 26 member volunteer board and operates with no administrative costs. The spring due date for grant applications is March 6, 2015.
This year’s Food Fest is Oct. 11, 2014 from 6:30 to 10 p.m. at Harrah’s Convention Center. Tickets will be available at all school district sites in September.
