Kids In Need Foundation Offers Teacher Grants for Creative Classroom Projects
Deadline: September 30, 2011
An annual initiative of the Kids In Need Foundation, the Kids In Need Teacher Grants program provides grants to K-12 educators working to provide innovative learning opportunities for their students. The grants are funded by retail and education credit union sponsors.
Teacher grant applications will be judged according to a rubric that emphasizes innovativeness and merit, clarity of objectives, replication feasibility, suitability of evaluation methods, and cost effectiveness. Projects may qualify for funding if they make creative use of common teaching aids, approach the curriculum from an imaginative angle, or tie non-traditional concepts together for the purpose of illustrating commonalities.
All certified K-12 teachers in the U.S. are eligible to apply. The foundation does not fund preschool projects.
Teacher grant awards range from $100 to $500. Typically, two hundred to three hundred grants are awarded each year.
The program’s retail and credit union sponsors make the grant applications available at their outlets during the back-to-school season. Applications from the sponsors are also available on the Kids In Need Foundation Web site.
Visit the Kids In Need Foundation Web site for complete program guidelines, project ideas, and applications.
