The Dudley-Charlton Education Foundation invests in our district children what public tax dollars and declining state resources do not.

To ensure the highest quality of public education, the Foundation funds innovative educational programs and opportunities that promote instructional excellence through the DCEF Grant Program. 

Grants for Educators

The Dudley-Charlton Education Foundation offers educators non-restrictive grants that inspire innovative educational and enrichment programs. In awarding grants, the Foundation works closely with school administrators to fund projects that result in richer and deeper learning experiences and have the potential to impact a large number of students.  

What do DCEF grants support?

The Foundation grants are awarded for specialized instructional materials, teaching aids, and other items that can be used to expand the existing school curriculum. DCEF-funded programs enhance rather than duplicate the curriculum. We seek innovative and creative ideas that fall outside the school budget, yet promise to augment curricula in a meaningful way.

Our focus includes:

• Disseminating Grants to staff for programs that engage students in innovative learning opportunities

• Creating an Endowment Fund to ensure a permanent source of supplemental funding 

• Enhancing and enriching our children's education experiences beyond the classroom
  

• Funding academic learning opportunities for students and staff
