OUR GRANTS

At the heart of the Foundation’s efforts are grants, which are distributed each year and fall into four categories:

: : Student —These grants are for students who want to explore in-depth a problem or issue they’ve been studying.

: : General — These give administrators and teachers the resources to purchase new equipment and to develop creative new programs or projects.

: : Teacher — These are offered to teachers for projects that enhance their in-class expertise. They can fund training, additional resources, in-the-field experiences, residencies, and partnerships.

: : Multi-Year Innovation — These grants are for programmatic, innovative ideas and are available for up to three years of funding.
