How are grants awarded?
The GEF Board of Directors appointed a Grant Review Committee for purposes of reviewing grant proposals received from the Georgetown Public Schools. The Grant Review Committee will make recommendations to the Board of Directors on which grants should be awarded. All awards must be consistent with the mission of the GEF as determined by its Board of Directors. Grants will be reviewed between September and January of each year, with funds made available to the Georgetown Public Schools by June of each school year. The level of awards is dependent on the GEF’s success in raising private donations.
