As a new school year begins, we are excited to share that our PVF Teacher Resource Grant Programs are now open!

Teachers come up with incredible ideas every day—creative projects, new learning experiences, and opportunities to spark curiosity in their classrooms. Yet too often, they don’t have the resources to bring those ideas to life or the time to navigate complicated funding processes. That’s why we launched our Teacher Resource Grants. These small but critically needed grants provide direct support to public school teachers, helping address inequalities in education while empowering educators to shape the future.

From visiting artists in classrooms to innovative math and science projects, from Technology , Engineering and Design Thinking-style learning opportunities to enviromental science initiatives and special education classroom supports these grants help ensure students have access to inspiring, hands-on learning experiences.

Here are just a few ways teachers can put these grants to work:
