General Grant Information
The
Board of Directors of the Education Foundation of Cotati & Rohnert Park (EFCRP) is pleased to announce its
Grant Program for projects operating during the current school year. The EFCRP Outgoing Grant Committee
reviews proposals received each year in blind review sessions. The Executive Director of the EFCRP is
the facilitator of the Outgoing Grant Committee and not a voting
member. A Board member of the EFCRP
may contact you for an interview or on site-visit. Allocated funds, which are not spent for
actual budgeted items by July 1, of the granting year will revert back to
the Foundation.
