ABOUT MAEF CLASSROOM GRANTS

The purpose of a Mahtomedi Area Educational Foundation (MAEF) classroom grant is to inspire staff to provide Mahtomedi students with exceptional learning experiences that ignite curiosity and foster innovation.

MAEF provides classroom grants to licensed Mahtomedi Public Schools staff in three categories:

Hansen Inspired Teacher Grants are available to licensed staff wishing to pursue professional development enrichment opportunities that do not lead to a degree. Applications for a Hansen Grant may also include the cost of materials and resources necessary to bring the learning to fruition within the classroom. Hansen Grants are available thanks to a generous donation from MAEF board member Jim Hansen, a former teacher, and School Board Chair at Mahtomedi Public Schools.

MAEF Grants are available to licensed staff to pay for materials that will enrich classroom educational opportunities. MAEF Grants are available because of generous donations from community members. 

Oliver's Fund Grants are available to licensed staff to pay for programs that support students in the following areas: increasing mental wellness, creating a sense of community and belonging, and/or raising awareness of the important issues of depression and suicide. Oliver's Fund grants are available because of generous donations from the friends and family of Oliver Zlonis and community members who share their passion for mental wellness.
