To acquire supplemental funds for innovative plans to improve the academic achievement of ECSD students.

The ECSD Grants Department is responsible for the management and oversight of all grant funding in the district. This includes competitive and formula-based, and categorical grants from federal, state, and private sources. The Grants Department oversees fiscal requirements, programming compliance, and evaluation reporting on all grants.

Nevada Gold Mines (NGM) has generously donated $80,000 to the Elko County School District (ECSD) for the 2023-24 school year as an investment in the future of our children and in support of education. ECSD is now responsible for sub-granting those funds to worthy school projects in the communities in which NGM operates.

Priority considerations will be given to projects in areas which NGM has a presence, specifically the Elko, Eureka, Lander, and Humboldt County School District. School personnel and School affiliates clubs/groups will no longer approach NGM directly for donations but will apply for the NGM School Grant Program through ECSD.

Grant applications will be accepted twice per school yeas as follows:

Fall Application Due: November 1 (notification of award December 1)

Spring Application Due:  February 1 (notification of award March 1)

Completed applications must be submitted by 5:00 pm on the due date. Late or incomplete applications will not be accepted.

Questions should be directed to: Cassie Stahlke, Grant Manager cstahlke@ecsdnv.net
