Grants to Natick, Massachusetts schools that are seeking financial assistance to implement quality programs that will enhance and enrich the curriculum for pre-K through 12th grade students. These grants are intended to provide Natick schools with resources that cannot be funded through ordinary budgetary channels.

NEF grants must be academic or arts-oriented. NEF does not fund athletics, social, counseling, or outreach programs (as valuable to education as they are). NEF also does not fund field trips, food, or more than incidental consumable supplies. In general, NEF does not fund consultants or visiting artists/performers unless the direct and on-going benefit to Natick students is great in relation to his or her compensation.

Please Note: NEF will no longer fund proposals for technology equipment, such as projectors, iPads, and similar devices that are best coordinated through the District as part of its town-wide technology plan. Requests for equipment should be directed to building principals.
