Grant Program

The purpose of Ladera Ranch Education Foundation grant program is to provide funds to enrich the learning environment, motivate students, and enhance instructional effectiveness. LREF recommends that principals, staff and teachers submit requests for projects, materials or equipment that directly benefit students and our community with positive results within our schools. Over the years, grant items have included books, math manipulatives, science equipment, projectors, digital presenters, sports equipment, staff training, rockets, music instruments, and many other creative additions to classrooms specifically requested by your children’s teachers and administrators.  There are no categorical restrictions on grants and projects may cover any subject.  For Teachers & Administrators – Click Here for Grant Application Instructions
