Enrichment Programs

The Lake Tahoe Educational Foundation is pleased to announce the availability of enrichment grant applications for the fall semester of 2011. This year the Foundation has changed the period for the acceptance of grant applications to twice a year.

  • Grant applications for the fall will be due on October 7, 2011
  • Spring applications are due on March 3, 2012

The twice a year cycle period was implemented to allow a more equitable and efficient distribution of LTEF funds.

Over the past years the LTEF has funded numerous grants that have supported outstanding programs in all LTUSD schools. Last year the grants funded Anti-Bullying Programs, Enrichment Clubs, Mad Science Program, Music Visiting Professors, Outdoor Winter Education, Sphere of Influence, and Teen Truth Anti-Bullying Programs for a total of $35,530.

The primary source of funds comes from the annual Food Fest, which will be held on Saturday, October 8 at Harrah's from 6:30-10. Tickets are $35 and are available at all schools and the District Office.

Please view the Grant Application below for grant criteria.
