Description
The Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation administers the Elk Rapids Area Education Endowment through its Fall Grants program. Established in 1994 by a donor who wished to enrich education in Elk Rapids, the endowment supports educational opportunities for area residents both within public schools and in the community at large.
Supported work may include educational programs, scholarships, technology and arts equipment for classroom activities, and teacher innovation. The endowment’s focus is on expanding educational opportunities for Elk Rapids area residents across school and community settings, rather than limiting support to a single subject or type of learning activity.
