Northmont Education Foundation

Over the past 40 years, NEF has awarded over $500,000 in grants. In 2025 NEF trustees made the decision to open up the grant cycle in the Fall and Spring. The Fall of 2025 grant cycle was awarded in November 2025 for use during the 2025-2026 school year. The Spring of 2026 grant cycle is awarded for the 2026-2027 school year. During the Spring grant cycle: $9,883 in Grants were awarded to Northmont staff for the 2026-27 school year.

NEF will once again have a Fall of 2026 grant cycle. We highly encourage all Northmont staff to apply during the open grant cycles.

The funds are used for the exclusive purpose of assisting Northmont City Schools, students, faculty and staff. All activities of the Fund shall qualify as public charitable purposes as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue code of 1968, as amended. All funds are administered by the NEF.

Grants can be created with any amount of money. However, a grant is not considered to be fully funded until it reaches $6,000. Establishing a grant with the NEF is a way to contribute to the future of Northmont Schools. Grants cannot be awarded until they are fully funded. Once the grant is fully funded, the donor can create the criteria for which the grant will be awarded as well as a name for the grant.

A Selection Committee, made up of NEF trustees, reviews grant applications received from Northmont employees in the Spring and Fall. They are then awarded and used for the following school year.
