Germantown Education Foundation grants support academic programs, teaching, technology and learning initiatives.
Over the past 10 years, the GEF has granted close to ONE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS to Germantown Schools.
The goal of the GEF was to reach into every part of the Germantown community and tell the story of where the GEF has been and where it is going. We did this by starting a much more active phase of community involvement by hosting several events and community outreaches that allowed us to form relationships, build trust and, in the end, help each and every teacher.
Because of initiatives and events like the Friend of the Foundation water bill campaign, our annual GMSD Stampede, and the very successful Treasures for Teachers campaign, the foundation has been able to give back more than $250,000 in grants & gifts to not only the STEM departments but to fine arts, the SPED department, libraries and to individual classroom teachers.
