How to Apply
Grants 4 Teachers provides financial support to AACPS teachers for creative projects that enhance classroom learning. Here’s how you can apply:
Grants range from $100 to $500. Applications are reviewed and projects are selected by a volunteer grant review committee. The application process is straightforward, and the grants are awarded directly to the school on behalf of teachers.
Application Opens: May 20, 2024 | Deadline: September 27, 2024 | Awards in October 2024
Eligibility, Application and Reporting Requirements
All teachers and guidance counselors working for Anne Arundel County Public Schools may apply. Technology purchases, such as tablets and touchpads, and assistive technology individual students will not be considered. Alternative classroom furnishings, pre-packaged curriculum, or software will only be considered if a creative use to enhance the classroom experience is described. Projects must not have already begun or been fully funded from other sources. Partial funding requests must include documentation of the remaining balance committed from another source, such as PTSA or a local business.
Examples of previously funded projects include musical instruments and art supplies, paperback books for students to take home and share with their parents, field trips to reinforce social studies or science lessons, and technical equipment to promote scientific investigations.
Please keep in mind that many teachers and schools are eligible to apply, so not all creative projects can be funded. Contact the Community Foundation office at grants@cfaac.org or 410.280.1102 x 104 if you have any further questions.
