​​At the Jeffco Schools Foundation, we aim to empower educators by offering extra funds for resources and programs through our educator grants. We hope to facilitate an enriched teaching experience while eliminating financial barriers, allowing our staff to focus on what matters most: our students.

​This initiative offers all Jeffco staff members the opportunity to apply for funding of up to $1,000 to enhance their schools or classrooms. Whether it’s innovative technology, specialized classroom materials, or a unique student program, we want to help bring your vision to life.


Mark your calendars! Our next round of funding is approaching:
  • Applications Open: October 1, 2026
  • Applications Close: November 13, 2026
  • Review Process: Following the deadline, all applications will be carefully reviewed by our committee to determine award recipients.
  • Award Notice: Awardees will be notified before Winter Break.

We look forward to hearing how we can support you and your school!

Empowering Innovation in the classroom

At Jeffco Schools Foundation, we believe that when teachers have the resources they need, students thrive. We are incredibly proud to announce that this year, we awarded 158 educator grants totaling $135,000.

​From cutting-edge STEM equipment to creative literacy projects, these funds are going directly into the hands of dedicated teachers who are redefining what’s possible in our schools. We are honored to support the passion, creativity, and commitment of our local educators as they inspire the next generation of leaders.
