Kids in Need Teacher Grants

The purpose of the grants is to provide funds for classroom teachers who have innovative, meritorious ideas. Your project may qualify for funding if it makes creative use of common teaching aids, approaches the curriculum from an imaginative angle, or ties nontraditional concepts together for the purpose of illustrating commonalities. Innovation and merit account for 40% of the evaluation.

The applicant must be a K-12 certified teacher working at a public, private, or parochial school in the subject of the project. Kids In Need does not fund pre-school projects.
The program is designed to be the sole funding agent for your project. Grant amounts will be between $100 and $500. In exceptional cases, a grant may be awarded in conjunction with funding from another source. If you are receiving additional funds for your project, you must declare it on the application. A budget must be included. No other materials should accompany the application.

Applications will be available online from July 15 through September 30.
