GRANTS The primary purpose of the Forest Hills Educational Foundation is to provide funds for programs and activities that promote academic excellence and are beyond normal school budgetary and operational functions. The Foundation's policy is to award grants only to school district programs and activities that can be directly or indirectly identified as part of, or related to, school curriculum. Since 1985, the foundation has awarded over $688,000 in grants to Forest Hills Public Schools. Grant requests must be submitted for processing by March 1. These requests will be considered at the regular Foundation meeting held in April. (Click on the link below to see our Grant
