    As you can imagine, in order to manage an organization that raises nearly $500,000 a year, reviews approximately 100 grants a year, and is constantly trying to raise awareness of its efforts, hundreds of volunteers are needed. In addition to our board positions, several committees have been established to further our efforts.

     

     
    The Grant Committees: Maggie Bauman Chair, MaryBeth Driscoll Asst Chair
     

    Grant committees meet four times during the year to review, evaluate, and vote on grants submitted by the district, teachers, and parents. Grant committees are organized by grade levels with an elementary, middle school, and high school committee. All committees are overseen by the Grants Chair, Sue Thatch. To understand how grants are evaluated, click here for more information.

    The purpose of this committee is to oversea the investment of the endowment assets. Currently, the committee is comprised of a chairman, and three members, plus the assistant treasurer of SEF and its co-presidents. The endowment assets are invested as a balanced portfolio.
