Grants

Classroom Innovation Grants support a culture of innovation and provide teachers with the opportunity to request funding to implement exciting and effective projects and programs designed to meet student needs and increase motivation to learn. Each year the LCS Education Foundation awards over $80,000 in grants and as of June 2022, the Foundation has awarded over $1,142,710 in Classroom Innovation Grant funding since its inception. Last year’s grants enabled students to get hands-on experience with laser printing technology, electricity, and environmental issues,  cultivate and manage a variety of edible and ornamental plants, create public art, connect schools with students’ homes through books, and assured equitable access to arts education though the LCS Strings Program.

Grants of $500 to $2,000.  Approximately 40 are awarded each year for innovative programs or projects.  Most applications should fall into this category.

Impact Grants:

Grants of $2,001–$5,000. Typically up to five are offered each year for innovative programs or projects that are targeted to larger student populations, have a greater scope, or addresses significant challenges or opportunities for focused groups of students.
