2020 Grant awards
This year Scituate Education Foundation was pleased to receive a total of twenty proposals, requesting more than $64,000 in funding. Collectively, they reflected our mission to promote diverse lifelong learning opportunities in Scituate. Individually, the applications were creative and thoughtfully crafted, making our task to select those to fund both challenging and rewarding. We are delighted to be able to invest over $38,000 in educational programming for the coming year. The smallest awarded grant was for $625 and the largest awarded grant was for $7,078.74. Since inception, SEF has invested over $205,000 back to the community.
