TANTASQUA EDUCATION FOUNDATION INC

Tantasqua Education Foundation (Ted.) is a community-sponsored, independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to providing financial resources to support projects and programs that encourage students to develop their talents, become lifelong learners, and pursue excellence. Such projects go beyond the scope of those funded by the operating budget of the school districts. Grant applications are submitted for various educational projects. A project must be innovative, be consistent with school or district goals, and encourage leadership and creativity. It must also promote collaboration between educational professionals, teachers, parents and community groups. Ultimately, projects should also allow for successful replication or expansion in other classrooms or schools. Teachers and students from the schools listed are served by the grants provided. Over 2,500 students can be affected by these grants.
