Eastchester School Foundation Grants
The mission of the Eastchester School Foundation is to enrich academic, arts, and athletic programs that serve students in the Eastchester Union Free School District. The Foundation facilitates, enhances, and financially supports worthy causes and special needs of the district, consistent with the philosophy of education of the Eastchester Schools.
The Foundation achieves it mission by providing grants for creative programs that are not funded under the school district budget. We seek projects that are innovative, that have significant educational impact, and that demonstrate the potential to deliver long-term benefit beyond the year of the grant.
Over the past six years, the Eastchester School Foundation has granted nearly $150,000 in support of programs proposed by the faculty and administration of the Eastchester Union Free School District, funding creative ideas at levels ranging from $200 to more than $6,000.
