EITC State Grants and Donegal Foundation Teacher Grants
Do you have an innovative idea to enhance and enrich your curriculum? Do you have a unique way to motivate your students? Is financing your idea a problem? If so, please apply for a Donegal Foundation Teacher Grant. There are currently two kinds of grants that are being offered by the Donegal Foundation – a “Donegal Foundation funded teacher grant” and an “EITC funded grant”. Please note the difference between the two.
Donegal Foundation Teacher grant:
• Your idea needs to support the curriculum.
• Your idea can focus on remediation or enrichment.
• Your idea should be innovative.
• Your cost should be under $500.
• The more students that are involved, the better.
• Bus Transportation is not an approved use.
• Deadline for applications: Initial deadline is October 15 of each year but applications can be accepted after that if money is still available.
EITC funded grant:
• Your idea needs to support the curriculum.
• Your idea needs to be an “innovative educational program”. It needs to enhance your academic program.
• Your idea needs to involve advanced academics, and to embellish your academic subjects.
• Your idea CANNOT be related to life skills, behavioral plans, prevention, tutoring, remediation, or testing prep.
• Cost is not a factor.
• The more students that are involved, the better.
• No deadlines – Applications are accepted year around.
• EITC funding available is dependent upon the EITC funds received annually, which can vary greatly.
Note: Approval is by the state and can take 6+ months for the initial approval.
Both types of grants are available to all teachers. Please click on the links for all the instructions and for an application. Both grants use the same application.
