E-Z MART Jim Yates Foundation

Education Grant
The E-Z MART Jim Yates Foundation has allocated funding for Education Grants to the
school systems located in the communities in which E-Z MART operates. The purpose
of these grants is to assist the educator in acquiring the tools necessary to instruct and
lead our children to higher levels of learning with the most current instructional methods.
Last year, E-Z MART contributed $65,129 to teachers wishing to enhance the classroom
experience. In the eleven year history of this program we have awarded $456,418 to
various teachers and school districts.

An application has been included and should be made available to those teachers who
would like to apply for an E-Z MART Jim Yates Foundation Education Grant. The

September 8, 2017. Only one grant application will be accepted for each teacher
choosing to participate. Please note that these grants will be made available to teachers in

our Contributions Committee to determine which school projects or learning experiences
provide the most benefit for the children. Sporting activities will not be considered for
grant purposes. Projects could include, but are not limited to:
