Education is defined here as academic enrichment and improvement. It includes the development of the ability to express oneself, to develop social awareness, and to problem solve.

- The Foundation will consider grant applications for:
- Institutional Projects amount up to $2,000
- Individual Projects amount up to $2,000
Eligibility Criteria
- Institutional Projects
- The application must be made by, or on behalf of, a tax-exempt institution for the benefit of a specific group of children, e.g., grades pre-K to grade 12, pre-school, etc.
- The project should benefit a group, as a whole, rather than any particular member of a group.
- Individual Projects
- Applications will be judged, to a substantial extent, on the applicant’s personal characteristics (e.g., enthusiasm and sincerity), as well as the suitability of the project to the applicant and seriousness of its purpose. Therefore, the applicant’s response to how he/she will benefit from the project will be a significant factor in the selection process.
- Applications must be made by, or on behalf of, children from pre-school to 12th grade.
- In the case of a pre-school applicant, the primary criteria will be the extent to which the proposal will benefit the pre-school child in his/her future growth as an individual.
- Successful applicants must return an evaluation of their experience to the Shelter Island Educational Foundation within three weeks of completion of the project.
