Educational Grants

The Educational Grants Program fosters creativity and rewards innovation. Great ideas and creative opportunities are set aside all too often due to a lack of funding. Every child deserves to benefit from their teacher's innovative ideas and enthusiasm.

Topeka Public Schools Foundation grant-funded projects touch the lives of over 9,000 students each year. Grant requests are reviewed by an allocations panel to identify annual awardees. Funds are awarded for educators to use from November through April, with exceptions made for summer projects.

The Educational Grant Program relies on your generous support. The list of grants awarded and relative information concerning the project are announced annually.
