Call for School District Grant Proposals

The Grant Commission of the Steamboat Springs Education Fund (SSEF) is excited to announce its grants program for the coming year. School District Grant applications will be vetted by the Grant Commission and awarded by the Board based on available funds.

So sorry - the submission period has ended.

The Steamboat Springs Education Fund (SSEF) is a nonprofit, independent corporation that administers the proceeds of the half-cent sales tax—five cents on a $10 purchase. The half-cent city sales tax was originally approved by Steamboat voters in 1993 to fund “public K-12 educational purposes.” The tax was extended by voter approval in three subsequent elections. In 2009, voters extended the tax and expanded the purpose to share a portion of the proceeds of the tax with other Routt County public schools. Since 1993, more than $67M has been granted directly for public K-12 education in Routt County.
