EGEF - About Us
What does the East Greenwich Education Foundation do?
We provide grants to East Greenwich educators. The EGEF is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that promotes excellence in public education by providing grants to educators in East Greenwich public schools RI to fund creative, innovative, and sustainable initiatives in the classroom. The Foundation supports educational programs at all six East Greenwich schools RI.
We engage the community. We work closely with the schools, administration, teachers, parents, and others in pursuit of our mission. Through our events and campaigns, we spread awareness and raise funds for our grants. Excellence in public education isn’t free, and your support is a powerful investment in our future. We thank all the families, friends, educators, and community members who share in our vision for the children of East Greenwich.
We award grants to provide additional opportunities. The EGEF funds initiatives that enhance classroom learning through innovative approaches to teaching, including at East Greenwich HS. We support all areas of the curriculum, including math, science, social studies, English, reading, language, health, art, music, and more. Key objectives of the Foundation include piloting promising programs and supporting their replication throughout the school district, in collaboration with the Greenwich Education Association.
We look for three qualities in a project: innovation, creativity, and sustainability. The EGEF encourages collaboration among teachers, paraprofessionals, parents, principals, educators from other school districts, and the community to generate new ideas for programs and classroom initiatives.
