Teacher Innovation Grants - Our Approach

Our Teacher Innovation Grants provide individual teachers with the extra resources needed to create new and exciting teaching methods and learning experiences for their students. Teachers can apply individually (up to $500) or collaboratively (up to $1,000) to purchase equipment, materials, or other needs that are not part of the regular school budget. Often times, it’s real-world experience that ignites a passion for learning. SVEF also funds field trips to expand our students’ horizons beyond the classroom.
