The HVEF provides grants that enable Hopewell Valley educators to improve their skills; to adopt innovative new projects and programs for our students; and to purchase equipment that enriches the learning environment. The Foundation welcomes grant applications that enhance and advance our mission and goals.

Grant applications are accepted year round from teachers, departmental supervisors, support staff such as school nurses, and administrators. There is no monetary minimum or limit, however HVEF grants are generally intended to provide funds that are beyond the means of PTO grants and reach a wide number of students. Please ensure that your proposal addresses our mission, goals, and each of the key guidelines cited below, as appropriate.

• Brief background statement
