Board of Directors

Each spring the PEF will award 20 mini-grants of up to $250 each, and two pilot projects of up to $2500 each. We engage with teachers to fund classroom mini-grants that “plug small holes” often found by teachers who need an extra piece of equipment, want to explore a new technology with students, or innovate how they teach students.
