GRANTS

CLASSROOM ENRICHMENT GRANT

GRANT APPLICATION

The Kent Schools Foundation provides grants that directly benefit Kent School District students. The purpose of the Classroom Enrichment Grant initiative is to fund projects such as art, music, STEM, reading, field trips, social/emotional programs, and unique experiences that enrich student learning in the classroom. Grants help teachers amplify, support, and reinforce their daily curriculum with innovative projects that reach students at their level. Grant awards are typically $500 or less for each application. In limited circumstances, the Foundation may award a grant greater than $500. Applications requesting $500, or less, will be evaluated prior to those which are greater than $500. Each grant application requires approval from the schools’ principal. Applications must be submitted through the Foundation’s grant email address: grants@kentschoolsfoundation.org. 

2024 – 2025 GRANT APPLICATION CYCLE IS CLOSED

If you have questions about the process or need assistance completing the application, please contact us at grants@kentschoolsfoundation.org

Classroom Enrichment Grants from KSF support our KSD Educators by amplifying and reinforcing their daily curriculum with innovative projects that meet the unique needs of our students, classrooms, and schools. 
The initial grant cycle, held in early 2019, resulted in awarding 18 grants totaling over $9,000 to 11 schools. In 2020, over $14,000 in grants were awarded to 26 schools across the district. In the 2021-2022 school year, nearly $34,000 in grants were awarded to 25 schools across the district. The 2022-2023 we granted over 50 grants.
