Classroom Grants

The Champions For Learning Classroom Grants program aims to provide teachers with funding for supplies, classroom items and enrichment activities, projects or programs not included in the school’s budget. Classroom Grants are available to all Florida Department of Education approved schools in Collier County, including traditional public, charter, and private schools. Classroom Grant applications open to teachers annually in July, and requests must be approved by the teacher’s principal to ensure alignment with school goals and priorities. In mid-September, a volunteer selection committee scores each grant application received to date against a rubric to allocate funds from Champions For Learning’s Classroom Grant Fund. All awarded requests are announced on Surprise Delivery Day in early October. Any unfunded grants and additional requests submitted by teachers will remain open on the online Classroom Grant portal until March.

Donors are able to support our overall execution of the program by making a gift to Champions For Learning’s Classroom Grant Fund, or they can utilize the online Classroom Grant portal to hand select specific requests to fund.
