Sifting through more than 50 requests, the BEF Board
agreed to distribute nearly $11,000 in grant awards.
EUGENE, Ore. -- After many hours of grading, debating and deciding, the Bethel Education Foundation Board has agreed to fund 27 new grant requests for Bethel classrooms.
The BEF grant award team will soon be making surprise visits to Bethel schools to present the grant winners with nearly $11,000 for a wide variety of academic enhancements.
In its second year of existence, the BEF was pleased to be able to fund more grants with more money than it was able to last year.
