It’s no secret that teachers spend money out of their own pockets to make sure students have the tools and resources they need to learn. In fact, a 2021 teacher-spending survey by nonprofit adoptaclassroom.org found that 30% of teachers spend $1,000 or more of their own money on their classrooms during the school year. And they shouldn’t have to do it. Fortunately, there are many companies and organizations that offer education grants, and teachers can definitely use them!
It’s often time-consuming, however, to find the grants that are worth your time to fill out an application. Here is our big list of school grants and classroom education grants for teachers, separated by category so you can easily find the ones that best work for you and your school. While we’ve included an overview of the application guidelines, it’s important to read them directly on the programs’ websites for the most complete and accurate information.
