Innovative Classroom Projects

This program is open to teachers and grade-level leads.

The Pasco Education Foundation is looking to fund projects that improve student learning and make a positive, long-term impact in the classroom. This program serves to provide our schools and educators with an opportunity for financial support for innovative and creative curriculum, special activities, and classroom or school projects.

Every teacher has creative and innovative ideas to help their students engage in learning. Unfortunately, classroom budgets do not leave much for purchasing the supplies to bring those ideas to fruition. Each year, our classroom grant program provides teachers across Pasco County the financial resources they need to inspire learning amongst their students.

Classroom Project Guidelines

All Documents, receipts, and reports must be reported to the Pasco Education Foundation. Mid-year status updates will be required, along with a year-end review. Semester testing scores will be required if applicable. All items purchased with Innovative Classroom Project funds become the property of Pasco County Schools. If the awardee leaves the District, items purchased must stay with the school, or may be passed on to another District teacher, at the discretion of the principal.

Amounts awarded will vary based on Program quality, funds needed, funds available, and the number of competing applications received. No more than 10% of funds awarded may be used for food, promotional materials, awards, incentives, or administrative costs. *Please refer to the state match requirements located at the bottom of this form.
