Educator Grant Opportunities

Announcement

11, 360, 004. That’s the number of instructional days students lost due to out-of-school suspensions in 2015-2016 in the United States. The most recent national report shows that Black, Native American, and LatinX students continue to be suspended at alarmingly disproportionate rates. In some cases, losing twice the amount of instructional time as their white peers. Given that North Carolina has the highest suspension rate in the nation, we are wants to support local educators in addressing racial discipline disparities.

Our Educator Grants will support Pre K-12 educators seeking to apply anti-racism efforts in their classrooms and school communities. The focus of these microgrants, ranging from $500-1500, is to support projects that disrupt racial discipline disparities or to support the creation of racial equity teams. Pre K-12 Educators in North Carolina’s public and alternative schools, as well as therapeutic schools and juvenile justice facilities, are eligible to apply.
