Thanks for your interest in the KJ7 Education Foundation’s Teaching Resource Grants!
These grants enable educators and administrators in District #283 to utilize new methods, equipment, materials, and strategies to help students learn and succeed in school.
General Information:
Teaching Resource Grants provide funds for the purchase of supplies and equipment for these programs/projects which are beyond the regular school budget. We are specifically interested in programs/projects that have not been offered or used in your classroom, grade, subject matter areas, or building.
Grant Cycle:
The grants are available year-round. Limit one per year per teacher although groups of teachers may apply together, regardless of if an individual teacher has already received a grant for the year.
Grant Award Amounts are based on the education quality of the proposed program/project and the opportunity to introduce a new or different approach to instruction and learning. Be aware that an award may only cover a portion of the total project cost.
Our intent is to award:
- Grants up to $500 to individual teacher-initiated programs or projects.
- Grants up to $1000 for programs or projects initiated by teams, departments or the school district.
Grant Instructions:
- Complete proposals include the sections: 1) Application 2) Budget 3) Grant Report. The Grant Report is to be submitted at the conclusion of the project and helps to account for our investment in your program.
- The Proposal Budget: should detail all expenses related to the project. Note: all supplies and equipment purchased entirely or partially with the Teaching Resource Grant funds are the property of the District.
- Grant funds must be spent within one year. The Grant Report must be submitted before the grant recipient(s) can apply for another grant.
