In the fall of each year, EFC awards monies to the public schools it supports in the form of teacher grants. The grants provide funding to teachers’ projects, thus directly impacting students. Innovative teaching approaches bring deeper meaning to the curriculum and improve the educational experiences of the students. Since EFC’s inception in August of 1998, over $1,300,000 has been awarded in teacher grants, to Tesoro High School's Knowledge Center, and to the Las Flores Middle School Fitness Center. Teacher grants provide for items such as music uniforms, career awareness, telescopes, foreign language training, science enrichment, digital cameras, printers, and portable keyboards, to name just a few previously successful grant applications. Funds have been donated for classrooms, computer wiring, network upgrades, exterior lighting, and playground additions.
