Strong Schools.
Strong Community.
Celebrating 20 years!
The Foundation grew out of conversations in 2005 among a group of Falmouth residents who believed that strong public schools are essential to a strong community. Since awarding our first grants in 2006, Falmouth Education Foundation (FEF) has funded over 800 teacher-created projects totaling $1,750,000.
With the support of our donors, FEF grows in response to increased and evolving needs. FEF is a local organization with deep ties to our community and a commitment to stellar public education for all students.
Grant Programs
Since 2006, FEF has supported innovative projects that enhance teaching and learning in the Falmouth Public Schools. Grants are for classroom activities, projects and staff development that promote opportunities for all students.
Our current grants include:
For the 2024-2025 school year, FEF awarded 31 Project Grants and 50 Mini-Grants. Funding for FEF is made available through the generosity and commitment of donors.
Applications for the 2025-2026 grant cycle are now available.
“Kids change, needs change, demands change, but FEF has been there to help us change with them all along the way.”
Bob Porto, 8th Grade Engineering Teacher, Lawrence School
