THRIVE

When Schools Thrive, Communities Flourish.

Through grants, recognition programs, and meaningful support, Georgia invests in educators and schools — because when you succeed, our entire state succeeds.

Teacher Grants for Innovation

Are you a teacher with an innovative project designed to improve learning outcomes and make a measurable impact on your student’s lives?

Through the Georgia Teachers Initiative, the Georgia Foundation for Public Education is awarding between $500 and $2,500 in Teacher Grants for Innovation to Georgia public school teachers to help bring your creative ideas to life.

Know a Teacher Who Deserves Recognition?

Share specific examples of how a teacher you know has made a positive impact on students, colleagues, or the community, including moments where they went above and beyond or made a lasting difference.

Grant Opportunities

Periodically, funding is available for the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) to award to districts, schools, and other stakeholders in the form of grants. This solidifies our commitment to service and support where students have the resources and tools to succeed and be prepared for life.
