Who We Are, What We Do
We're a community-based, non-profit 501 (c)3 organization. We fund teacher-initiated programs and projects in the Tenafly School System that the school
budget is unable to cover. With your help, we enrich
academic experience and creativity in all four elementary schools (Maugham, Mackay, Stillman & Smith)
plus Tenafly Middle School and Tenafly High School.
When teachers have a project idea, they submit a grant
proposal. It's reviewed by their Principal, the Assistant
Superintendent, and TEF Board members - comprised
of Tenafly residents or parents of Tenafly students.
The TEF board evaluates
the proposal and votes on
