About This Grant
The Education Minnesota Foundation offers annual classroom grants to public school teachers who are members of Education Minnesota, the state's largest teachers union. Grants go up to $3,000 for projects that bring new learning experiences to Minnesota classrooms.
Funded projects have included robotics programs, maker spaces, coding clubs, digital storytelling units, and hands-on STEM labs. The foundation prioritizes projects that benefit students directly and show a clear plan for how the funds will be used in the classroom.
Applications are accepted once per year. Education Minnesota members can find the current application on the foundation's page. Grants are competitive, so strong proposals clearly connect the project to student learning outcomes.
How Forward Education Kits Fit
Forward Education kits are a strong fit for Education Minnesota Foundation grants. Our coding and robotics kits are affordable enough to be fully purchased within a $3,000 award, and we provide student outcome documentation and curriculum guides to help teachers write compelling grant proposals.
How Forward Education Helps
Forward Education provides curriculum alignment documents mapped to Minnesota K-12 standards, official pricing letters for grant budgets, and letters of support for your application. Contact us before you submit so we can help you build a strong case.
