The Education Foundation Gladewater began its work in the Fall of 2019 and immediately teamed to spread the word about our mission and fundraising goals.  Even though we were isolated for awhile due to 2020 Covid Restrictions, this board did not let that hinder our fundraising plans.  We were able to host a successful fundraiser in the fall of 2020 which allowed us to fund more than a few good grants!  We are now excited to announce that our 2nd Annual Giddy-Up & Give fundraiser was a huge success and we more than doubled the amount raised in the Fall of 2020.  We are thankful for our community's support of our organization's efforts to raise needed funds for our Grants To Gladewater ISD Teachers program.  

EFG is pleased to announce that our Fall 2021 grant application period has opened.  You may download the guidelines and application using the link below. Your completed application is to be returned by email to: efg_grants@yahoo.com no later than 5:00 p.m. October 12, 2021.  Any questions you may have regarding your grant will also need to be directed to our grant email efg_grants@yahoo.com.
