LCF Educational Grant Program

The Lexington Community Foundation Educational Grant Program is an initiative created by the LCF board of directors to encourage creative learning in our schools. Funding from the Lexington Community Foundation may be requested to support new and innovative learning in any area of our educational system. Annual projects and events will no longer be given funding consideration.

Educational grant opportunities are available to administrators and teachers in the Lexington Public School system twice a year. The application deadline for the fall 2008 semester is August 24, 2008. Applications will be accepted beginning May 1st. December 1st is the deadline for the spring 2009 semester.

Completed applications should be submitted by the deadline to the Superintendent's Office. The Superintendent will then forward the requests to the Lexington Community Foundation Grants Committee.

Grant proposals should include: 

A. Completed application

B. Narrative description of your program / project (not to exceed two pages)

1. Purpose of the grant
2. Who will benefit
3. How the program / project will positively impact students
4. Timetable

Grants will typically range from $100 to $1000. Only one application per administrator or teacher per calendar year will be accepted.
