Since 1985, our Teacher Classroom Grant Program has funded almost $2.3 million into more than 4,600 grants for classroom teachers throughout the years. Classroom Grants fund the costs associated with student supplies and curriculum materials providing a multitude of activities, including both remedial and enrichment programs.

Each summer teachers complete their online application which is reviewed and approved/declined by their principal. If approved, a FUTURES Selection Committee consisting of FUTURES Board members, principals, donors and school district staff select the recipients and determine the award amounts. The teachers whose projects have been selected for funding receive their checks via Surprise Grant Delivery Days in the Fall. 

Each spring, teachers complete an on-line evaluation summarizing the success of their activities and include data on their students’ achievements. The individual schools maintain documentation on how the funds were spent. During the year, FUTURES receives invitations to attend Classroom Grant projects along with letters and pictures from teachers providing information and statistics about their grants as the students progress. Donors also are invited and encouraged to attend the projects.
