Submit an Enrichment Grant Proposal

Shaker Schools Foundation has an Enrichment Grant program to support small projects that will enhance student learning and participation during the 2024-2025 school year. Teachers and faculty mentoring school-related activities or clubs can submit a request for a mini-grant. Funding is usually in the $200-$300 range and can be up to $500 per project – for field trips, special art supplies, additional classroom resources, teaching tools, special events, etc. Enrichment grants are generally for an individual classroom or activity, not an all-grade or all-school activity.
