Toshiba America Foundation (TAF)
Toshiba funds innovative K-12 math and science classroom projects. Teachers apply directly for classroom grants.
About This Grant
The Toshiba America Foundation funds innovative hands-on math and science projects in K-12 classrooms. Teachers apply directly, and projects that show creative, student-centered learning in STEM are prioritized. Two funding tracks cover K-6 (up to $5,000) and grades 6-12 (up to $10,000).
TAF grants are a strong fit for Florida teachers who want to introduce physical computing or coding in ways that go beyond standard curriculum. Projects that give students agency in their learning and show a novel approach to STEM tend to succeed.
