Teacher Grants

Teacher grants are awarded annually to cover the costs or defray expenses for programs that enhance student learning in the classroom.  Awards are given for innovative, creative & diverse activities.   Areas to be considered for possible funding include, but are not limited to:  classroom research, innovative practice, or further study of ideas or programs that highly impact student learning.

Through the generosity of our donors, there are now two grant options, depending on the need.   Our normal grant is paid upon submission of receipts up to the maximum of $500.  

New this year is the Isabel Corbus Memorial teacher grant. Due to the generosity of her son, Ken Corbus, this grant will provide $1,500.00 for five applicants who are selected as recipients.  Isabel Corbus attended Westminster College (B.A.) and Kent State University. Beginning in 1954 and for 24 years thereafter, she taught in the Cuyahoga Falls School District. Upon her retirement, she volunteered for 20 years with many civic organizations. She  is remembered by former students as a kind, caring and inspiring teacher.

Due to the amount of the larger grant, the Foundation is willing to fund up to 50% of the grant in advance of purchase.   Once awarded, those selected will provide an email with a complete estimate of the expenditure, with amounts and vendors included.   Upon receipt of that information, the Foundation will release the preliminary funds.   The balance of the funds will be provided once the entire project purchase is completed, and receipts are submitted.

As always, these grants must be approved in advance by the principal or higher within the school district.  

You may submit your grant requests online now.    The grant committees make selections in April based on the applications and funds available from donors for these awards.   

Would you would like make a difference and support a teacher by making a donation of $500 or more that will impact young lives?
