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. A member of the Board of Directors or of the Advisory Board is selected each year to serve as the facilitator for the Grant Review Committee. The selected facilitator is a non-voting member for purposes of grant approval. A Board member of the EFCRP may contact you for an interview or on site-visit if your grant is approved. Allocated funds, which are not spent for actual budgeted items by July 1, of the granting year will revert back to the Foundation for use in subsequent year’s Grant Programs.

Your name and the school name should appear only on the attached cover sheet. DO NOT mention your name or the name of the school in the body of the grant. This is important!
