2020 Grants: COVID-19 Response

As a response to the sudden closure of schools as a result of Covid-19, grant requests were accepted for teachers seeking urgent funding for distance learning and/or other urgent personal expenses. Must have a teacher identifiable valid email address, be listed on a school directory, and have an urgent need related to the effects of Covid19. Individual grants were available up to $500 per eligible teacher. Grants will be approved on a rolling basis. You will be notified if you are approved for a grant. Eligible personal expenses include funds needed for urgent basic needs or other family assistance.

I started @RiseUpFoundation in '08 to support teachers, children & families thru #literacy projects. I've funded 1,000+ @DonorsChoose projects for teachers, and it warms my heart every time I get these messages from the #teachercommunity! ❤️ #teachertwitter #teacherappreciation

We see the boss @AlaneAdamsBooks was busy spending the entire months budget last weekend🤷‍♀️😬 There is no stopping her when she wants to make an impact whether it’s by crafting a brain-breaking game just for fun or funding list after list. 👏Honestly we don’t know how she does it.

Oh @AlaneAdamsBooks you are a teacher’s best friend. I hope you know how much of a difference you have made in our classroom. Nearly every day we use something you have gifted us. I could never thank you enough for myself or my kiddos. You are treasure; THANK YOU, once again❤️
