As a proud member of the Montville Education Foundation, I'd like to share some information about the Foundation as well as some information regarding our upcoming fundraiser.

"The Montville Education Foundation, Inc. (MEF) established in 2008, is one of 80 education foundations in Connecticut. Since its inception, the Foundation has labored to raise money to support exemplary education programs throughout the entire Montville community. In essence, we have become the conduit through which our community can immediately and positively feel an impact. Contributions made to the Montville Education Foundation, Inc. remain in our community to enrich the lives of all residents. And because we are a non-profit, 501 (c) (3) organization, contributions are tax deductible to the full extent of the law, and donors are issued statements for tax purposes."

"The Foundation supports education projects and programs in the Town of Montville through the MEF Grant program. MEF will commit its support in community, educational and cultural arts initiatives that go beyond town budgets that are relevant, creative, effective, and inspiring and meet the demanding requirements of the 21st century. Proposed projects and programs should have a definable value to the community. Grant applications are accepted annually in May and October." We are able to honor these grants through fundraising efforts and donations made to the Foundation.
