MVEF Educational Grant Program
The MVEF Educational Grant Program was created to support excellence in our schools by empowering Moreno Valley Unified School District certificated and classified employees with funding to implement projects that will enhance teaching and learning throughout the district. The program provides the opportunity to re-define best practices, explore innovative and inclusive approaches to instruction, collaborate and partner with colleagues, and connect the wealth of knowledge, expertise and talent within the MVUSD community. The MVEF Educational Grants are not intended to replace existing district funding – instead they serve as an opportunity to support pioneering ideas in our schools and provide funding for projects that may be beyond the scope of district or school site funding. Projects must align with department, school, and district goals, and therefore require approval through MVUSD administration at the appropriate school site.
