MCEF Grant Cycle seeks sponsors
The Montgomery County Educational Foundation (MCEF) provides grants to educators in Montgomery County Public Schools totaling over $20,000 annually. Individual grants range from $500 to $1,000 and are aimed at funding new and innovative projects that would likely go unfunded without an MCEF grant. By sponsoring a grant, your business directly supports our public schools and our educators. All sponsorships are fully tax-deductible and 100% of the funds go to our schools. To sponsor a 2015 MCEF grant, please download the sponsorship form below. To learn more about the MCEF, please visit our website at www.montcoef.org
