Program One

Connect! Grants

Connect! Grants are NYEF’s classroom grants program. They support projects that fill educational gaps, promote health and wellness, and reach a wide range of students.

These grants are community-driven, community-funded, and community-evaluated. That means they are designed to respond to local needs, are funded through community support, and are reviewed by community members.

By investing directly in classroom ideas and student-centered projects, Connect! Grants help expand what is possible for students and staff in Gardiner Public Schools.

Program Two

Mental Health Initiatives

Student well-being is essential to student success. NYEF supports efforts that help schools respond to the mental health needs of students and strengthen overall school wellness.

These initiatives may include partnerships, programming, or targeted supports that expand access to resources and help create a healthier learning environment for students and staff.

By supporting mental health initiatives, NYEF invests in the whole student — not just academics, but the conditions that make learning possible.

Teacher housing and community support in Gardiner
Program Three

Teacher Housing Initiative

Affordable housing is one of the most important challenges facing schools in communities like Gardiner. NYEF’s Teacher Housing Initiative helps address that challenge in a practical, meaningful way.

Supporting teacher housing helps the school recruit and retain strong educators, sustain programs, and maintain stability for students and families.

This initiative is about more than housing — it is about protecting the long-term strength of the school and preserving what makes Gardiner a special place to live and learn.
