Jordan Education Foundation (JEF) CLASSROOM GRANT applications will be accepted August 1 through October 31, 2021.
JEF funding will be awarded through Monday, November 19, 2021 – as long as funds are available. The funding period will end before November 19 if JEF funds have been exhausted by eligible projects. Bottom line: APPLY EARLY!
We are again using DONORS CHOOSE this year to increase the number of grants awarded to Jordan District teachers. For the past 3 years, our donated funds have been doubled and in some cases tripled using DONORS CHOOSE. This year we hope to do the same or better by capturing additional funds from more matching programs. Historically there are various major foundations (Gates, Chevron, Twitter and others) that pick out a random day or period of time to match projects that are listed with Donors Choose. JEF would like to contribute to these match's so APPLY EARLY IN AUGUST.
