The Panhandle Alliance for Education was founded in 2003 to promote community and financial support for schools and educators in the Lake Pend Oreille School District. PAFE’s innovative annual grant program provides direct funding for classroom projects that the teachers themselves submit.  

Grant categories include School Investment Grants, Master Class Grants, Special Investment Grants, District Leadership Grants and several privately funded grants from donors. See more below about our grant program options, as well as tools for educators to participate.

PAFE IS DEDICATED TO MAKING A DIFFERENCE

The Panhandle Alliance for Education (PAFE) and the public school system are making a difference for our community.  PAFE has helped turn the Lake Pend Oreille School District into a model for effective teaching, learning and management. The Alliance is now recognized for programs that deliver a strategic advantage to public education. The results have been measurable, award-winning, and speak for themselves. These vital programs leverage passion, creativity, and innovation among our educators.
