The Innovative Teaching Grant is available by the USD 232 Education Foundation to any USD 232 certified staff through a donation made by our corporate partners. This grant is awarded to a project or program that utilizes inspiring and innovative teaching practices which also reflect USD 232 district goals. Any educator or group of USD 232 educators may apply for a Teaching Grant of up to $1,000.

Innovative Grant Applications are available each spring and fall; applications are to be completed online. Project-awarded grant funds must be spent in entirety within one calendar year upon being awarded.
