- Impact Grants - offer teachers and administrators an expanded opportunity to apply for grants up to $1,000. Although these grants will require some additional preparation and evaluation, they will also allow increased funding for meaningful projects that could not be funded through normal school budgets. Impact Grants will be available up to $1,000 to support creative, measurable and impactful projects that support higher levels of student learning. These larger grants with their more detailed application and defined reporting method will allow the Foundation to more fully meet donor expectations and report the impact their donations make in our schools.
