Classroom Grants

The Roanoke County Public Schools Education Foundation promotes the vision and strategic priorities of Roanoke County Public Schools through the development and distribution of donated financial resources.  One of the primary ways that the Foundation directly supports the work of classroom teachers is the teacher grant program.   The purpose of the grant program is to fund classroom projects that support the Roanoke County Schools C-Change Framework’s focus on Deeper Learning to help students go beyond learning today’s academic context to develop Opportunity Ready skills and knowledge. 

The Foundation funds projects that directly enhance student learning and will prioritize projects that directly support the division’s Deeper Learning focus. This would include projects that develop students’ ability to demonstrate attainment of the Profile of a Graduate attributes. We do not fund basic school supplies, classroom furniture/furnishings, parties, transportation, guest speakers, professional development or subs for teachers, or purchases that might otherwise be funded by the school division.  We generally do not award grants for technology or equipment.

Grant amounts could be as much as $250 per project.  Preference will be given to new applications.  Grant recepients are requested to share photos and descriptions of your project for use by the Education Foundation and RCPS.
