Grant Request
Charger Foundation

 

As you look for ways to expand your instruction and engage your students, Charger Foundation Teacher Grants are available to help you be a more innovative and successful teacher. The 2023/2024 Teacher Grant Application is now open: chargerfoundation.org/grant-application

Charger Foundation Teacher Grants

Awarded grants will be creative and provide enrichment, not basic resources. They may include the following categories:

·       Projects

·       Experiences

·       Creative Learning Opportunities

Grant Amounts

There are no dollar limits on grant applications. Funds are not limitless, but don’t feel limited by money in your request.

Grant Instructions

  1. Seek approval from your principal before submitting application.

  2. Submit online application by Friday, September 22, 2023, at 5 p.m.

  3. Complete all grant application sections to be considered.

Grant Expectations

  • Grant funds must be used specifically for the project and materials listed on the application, not on additional items. Any unused funds must be returned to the Foundation.

  • Schools will cover the initial purchase, and Charger Foundation will reimburse. If the grant exceeds an amount the school can cover, you must request that Charger Foundation make the initial purchase, and proof of payment and photos must be submitted by December 31. 2023.

  • Grant recipients must submit pictures of items or experiences that were funded with a brief reflection by December 31, 2023, for fall purchases and by May 1, 2024, for spring purchases.

  • All grant funds must be used by May 1, 2024.

  • Any items purchased with Foundation grant funds become the property of the Martin school where the recipient is currently working.

  • By accepting Foundation grant funds, you agree to provide feedback to the Foundation on the project. The Foundation reserves the right to share information about the project with the Martin community.
