{Interested teachers and staff are encouraged to submit a grant proposal online that will be evaluated by a selection committee comprised of parents, staff, and community members.

Past grants have ranged from $500-$2500. Depending on the pool and quality of applications, we may only be able to partially fund approved grant requests. Applicants should be prepared to access alternative sources of funding.

General guidelines for submitting a proposal:

We encourage you to “look local” and be practical in what is possible in this continuing pandemic environment.
Preference is given to proposals that contribute to a teacher's professional or personal development.
Grant activities must take place after school, during school vacations, or over the summer.
Grant recipients are expected to share their experiences with the Lincoln and Sudbury communities through public forums.
Current FELS board members are not eligible to apply for a grant.
