Grants & Initiatives

Twice-yearly, through a competitive process, HEF provides grants to the teachers and staff of Holland Public Schools. 

 

Due to generous community support, HEF was able to fund more than  $26,000 in new grants during the 2019-2020 school year. Since our founding in 1984, the foundation has awarded over $837,000 in grant support to the teachers/staff of Holland Public Schools.

 

For the past seven years, in addition to our regular grant cycles, we have funded larger initiatives of $5,000 for more focused impact in specific subject areas.
