Great Idea! grants give teachers, grade levels, schools or district groups the opportunity to explore a "passion project" or enhance instruction through instrumental materials or access to resources.  Great Idea! grants promote innovation, imagination, creativity, and higher learning and often align with district initiatives (i.e. social emotional learning, safety, literacy, etc.). 

Individual donations allow more Great Idea! grants to be awarded annually.  There are also opportunities to create grants focused on a field of study or community partnership with a business.  For instance, a business that uses building applications may partner with a classroom to share hands-on learning experiences to create win-win opportunities for students, teachers and community members.  The opportunities are boundless!

Many people play a role in a child’s education – teachers, aides, coaches and guidance counselors; specialists in art, music, media, physical fitness and science; custodians, food service team members, transportation staff, administrative assistants, other support staff; and administrators. All are educators in their own way and here is your chance to honor them.

Your gift, in any amount, may be made at any time of year and will support grants and other enriching programs offered by CEF.

Honorees will receive a personalized certificate along with recognition at their school and on the CEF website.

Held in early spring, the annual CEF Musical Showcase features choirs and other performance groups from elementary and middle schools.  It is a unique experience for young students to perform live on the high school stage for families and community members.

Friends and family members may wish to remember a loved one's passing through memorial donations. A memorial donation can be used to commemorate other milestones and events, such as retirement, anniversaries, and class reunion gifts.
