A quick online search will allow teachers to explore various grants available to support and enhance their classrooms. Two examples are https://www.getedfunding.com and https://teach.com/what/teachers-change-lives/grants-for-teachers/ that both have a large data base for grants in which educators can easily apply that cover a large range of education fields and grade ranges.
Bookmobile Grant Program sponsored by Lois Lenski Covey Foundation offers grants ranging from 300 to 3,000 for bookmobile programs to serve children from disadvantaged populations. Funds must be used to purchase fiction or nonfiction books published for young people preschool through grade 8. I believe this is a great way to raise literacy awareness for students that may not be able to afford available books or have access to a public library. It can be a fun and exciting way for students to shop for their selected reading materials.
The Social Emotional Learning in Action Award from NoVo Foundation, in partnership with Education First and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors is grant designed to foster socioemotional skills. Some themes that I could use the funds to explore are learning mindsets, compassion, self-management, or sense of belonging. I can achieve this with the set up of center based activities, classroom victors, videos, and other materials to help early education students in my classroom explore their feelings and the feelings of others.
I also did additional research to find other sources to apply for grants online and found two websites that offer an array of grants. https://www.grantwatch.com/cat/42/teachers-grants.html and https://www.learninga-z.com/site/resources/funding-and-grants
