NEF’s mission is to fund projects and programs that expand educational opportunities, foster creativity, and enhance academic experiences in Northampton’s public schools.

Small Grants to Educators proposals will be judged based on how well applicants respond to the program guidelines and how clearly they have responded to application questions.

You can now save your application progress and return to your application later. At the bottom of the application is now a “Save” button. After selected “Save”, you’ll have the option to sign in or sign up for a JotForm account to save your progress, or you can select “Skip Create an Account,” enter your email, and send yourself a link to continue your application later.

The Spring 2024 grant application cycle is now closed. Any applications received after 11:59 p.m. on April 15, 2024 will be considered for the Fall 2024 cycle for projects that begin no sooner than December 1, 2024 and are completed by June 30, 2025.
