Done for you
Tell us what you need the money for. We find the grants that fit. $49
You answer five questions at checkout: school type, grades, county, what it's for, and about how much. Within 5 days you get at least 5 grants you qualify for, ranked by fit. Each comes with the checked deadline, what the application asks for, and a starter paragraph for your statement of need.
Sample, for a made-up request: grade 7 science, Hamilton County, $1,200 for water-testing kits
1. Martha Holden Jennings Foundation, Grants-to-Educators
Up to $3,000 · Feb 15, 2027 (expected) · Ohio public-school teachers only, and $1,200 is well inside the cap. Prepare: a letter of endorsement from your principal.
2. Toshiba America Foundation, Grades 6-12 STEM under $5,000
Dec 1, 2026 (expected) · A classroom science project for grades 6-12 is exactly what it funds. Not for clubs or after-school programs, so frame it as a unit you teach.
Starter need statement: "Our 7th graders study watersheds but have never tested real water. Twelve kits would let every lab group sample the creek behind our school each month and compare results to state data."
Late, or fewer than 5 good fits? Full refund, no questions. Please don't include student names or any student information. We can't promise an award; we make sure you don't miss the ones that fit.
