2016-2017 School Year   Total = $28,268.59

It seems like change is a constant in our lives and the changes in today's world often happen quickly. However, the development and implementation of a school district's budget does not happen rapidly. As a result, the OEF strives to help the educators of our district facilitate the introduction of innovative ideas by awarding Professional Grants. These grants are for programs outside of the district's budget, and teachers are given four opportunities each year to apply for money up to $1,500 for each grant. In 2016 – 2017 school year, thirty-two grants were awarded – the highest number the OEF ever awarded in one school year. The awards totaled $28,268.59 – the highest yearly amount ever awarded in the OEF's sixteen year history of awarding grants. This brings the total amount awarded in those years to $201,240.60! These monies are generated by donations, legacy gifts, and membership fees. Hoping for another successful year, the OEF invites you to participate in this worthwhile endeavor. The charts below show a list of how the professional staff in the OASD utilized their grants in the past year. The Board of Directors is excited to continue this program and asks for your financial support.

Congratulations to all of the above named educators for working hard and reaching out to the OEF in order to help their students achieve their best. If you believe that education is the key to their futures and you find the above ventures to be interesting and meaningful, then the Oxford Educational Foundation asks you to consider supporting students and programs for this new school year with a donation. Large or small, your helpful funds will give the students of the Oxford area a helping hand and for that the Board of Directors of the OEF is very thankful.
