Innovative Education Support
We believe in supporting teachers, counselors and administrators so they can better support their students. To do this, the Foundation provides 1) funding for new or expanded classroom projects and 2) fully-paid trips to professional development conferences.
Non-Traditional Learning Opportunities
The Foundation recognizes that students today learn differently from their predecessors. Funding K-12 STREAM projects helps educators present content in ways that meet students’ needs. Typical donations range from $1,000 to $5,000. Donations are restricted for the project’s use. Winning staff members’ districts receive payment upon receipt of the district’s W-9.
Educator Professional Development
School districts have limited funding for trips to professional development conferences. Many times, staff members must pay for these trips themselves. The Foundation believes in supporting professional development. We believe that what’s learned benefits all students and staff. Staff members in K-12 schools are eligible. Registration and travel expenses are covered up to $3,000. Funds are paid to the winner’s school district upon receipt of its W-9.
Typical Conferences
Typical offerings include the American School Counselor Association Conference, the Association for Positive Behavior Support Conference, the Innovative Schools Summit and the Southeast School Climate Conference.
