Since MVEF was established in 2007, all seven schools and hundreds of Mt. Vernon teachers have been recipients of the grants.
Fueling innovation. Expanding opportunity. Elevating learning.
The Mt. Vernon Education Foundation proudly invests in classroom projects that spark curiosity, deepen learning, and create lasting impact for students across Mt. Vernon Schools.
Award Innovative & Engaging Grants
Every Mt. Vernon student has benefited from Foundation-supported enhancements during their educational journey. As the district’s philanthropic partner, we collaborate with donors, private foundations, and corporate partners to fund innovative programs that go beyond traditional school budgets and expand what’s possible for students.
What We Fund
Our grants support projects that are:
- Innovative and student-centered
- Hands-on, engaging, and curiosity-driven
- Designed to enrich learning beyond standard resources
- Aligned to deeper learning, experiential learning, or real-world application
Eligible applicants include MVCSC teachers, counselors, librarians, nurses, and student support staff.
