Funding Requests

The Pasco Education Foundation is proud to help leverage dollars from the community to support local schools in the areas that they need it most. We fund projects that improve student learning and make a positive, long-term impact in the classroom. Our 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.

Please scroll down to view all of the opportunities, as well as their criteria and open dates.

Innovative Classroom Projects – open to teachers, grade-level leads

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. Individual projects have a limit up to $1,000. Group projects may vary. Open August – Mid-September.
