Early Grant Information for NGOs
The Foundation will award grants to not-for-profit institutions and to individuals such as teachers, administrators, parents, students, and community members for projects in the areas of technology, environmental studies, the arts and humanities, professional development, sports, scholarship, citizenship, and career and personal development. The funding will be made directly to the institution providing the service.
Projects must provide, or make possible, educational experiences beyond those available in the normal school curriculum and funded by the school budget, which will inspire the participants and enrich their futures. Education is defined here as academic enrichment and improvement. It includes the development of the ability to express oneself, to develop social awareness, and to problem solve.

Institutional Projects
The application must be made by, or on behalf of, a tax-exempt institution for the benefit of a specific group of children, e.g., grades pre-K to grade 12, pre-school, etc.
The project should benefit a group, as a whole, rather than any particular member of a group.
Individual Projects
Applications will be judged, to a substantial extent, on the applicant’s personal characteristics (e.g., enthusiasm and sincerity), as well as the suitability of the project to the applicant and seriousness of its purpose. Therefore, the applicant’s response to how he/she will benefit from the project will be a significant factor in the selection process.
Applications must be made by, or on behalf of, children from pre-school to 12th grade.
In the case of a pre-school applicant, the primary criteria will be the extent to which the proposal will benefit the pre-school child in his/her future growth as an individual.
Successful applicants must return an evaluation of their experience to the Shelter Island Educational Foundation within three weeks of completion of the project.
