Enrichment Programs

The Lake Tahoe Educational Foundation is pleased to announce the availability of enrichment grant applications for the 2012-2013 year. This year the Foundation has changed the period for the acceptance of grant applications to twice a year.

  • Fall applications are due on October 12, 2012
  • Spring applications are due on March 8, 2013

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 over $50,000.
