What is an Innovation Grant?

An innovation grant is proposed by a District 300 educator in March of each year and they are awarded in April of each year for the next school year. 

The grant must be unique and never done before.

The grant must be innovative with clear goals aligned with State Education Standards.

It must be measurable.

An innovation grant is up to $500.

As are all of our grants none of the grant money is used to pay teachers stipends.


"Imagination is more important than knowledge.  For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand".
Albert Einstein

How do I apply for an Innovation Grant?

In the January / February time frame the Foundation notifies the principals in each building that the time to be thinking about submission for an Innovation Grant is upon them and to please get out the word to their teachers. 

The principals are given the forms to be filled out.  They are encouraged to have their teachers participate.

Each year we give out at least ten grants at $500 each.  One of those grants is chosen to be the Higgens Memorial Grant.

You must submit Part A and Part B listed below.
