The Resource

Less time searching, more time teaching.

Education funding is scattered across city agencies, state programs, federal grants, corporate giving, and private foundations, each with its own rules about who can apply.

This directory brings those opportunities into one place and answers the first question up front: can a teacher apply, or does a school, district, or institution need to lead?
