GRANTS

CLASSROOM ENRICHMENT GRANT

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.
