The Pasco Education Foundation is looking to fund projects that improve student learning and make a positive, long-term impact.

Project L.E.A.D. Guidelines

Mid-year status updates will be required, along with a year-end review. Semester testing scores will be required if applicable.

Amounts awarded will vary based on program quality, funds needed, funds available, and the number of competing applications received. All equipment and materials purchased with program funds shall become the property of Pasco County Schools. If the awardee leaves the District, items purchased must stay with the location or may be passed on to another location with approval.
