About This Grant
The Motorola Solutions Foundation funds STEM education and public safety programs across the United States. The foundation focuses on programs that help young people -- particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds -- develop technology and engineering skills that lead to careers in STEM fields.
Minnesota schools and nonprofits are eligible to apply. The foundation has historically supported coding programs, robotics teams, CTE technology pathways, and organizations that bring STEM experiences to students who lack access. Grant amounts vary by program and cycle.
Applications follow an annual cycle. Review the foundation's current priority areas and application requirements at the Motorola Solutions website before applying.
How Forward Education Kits Fit
Forward Education kits are designed to make CS and engineering accessible to all students, which aligns with the Motorola Solutions Foundation's equity focus. Our tools work in CTE pathways and after-school programs -- the kinds of programs the foundation tends to support.
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.
