Empowering Educators to Inspire Futures

Grants for Classroom Innovation

The Columbus Education Foundation is dedicated to enriching the educational experience in Columbus ISD by funding classroom grants to teachers. Our goal is to empower educators by providing the resources they need to implement innovative teaching methods, creative projects, and enhanced learning opportunities – all without the constraints of a limited budget.

By investing in our teachers, we ensure every student has access to engaging, high-quality education that fosters curiosity, creativity, and a passion for lifelong learning.

"I used my awarded grant funds to purchase supplies for my Floral 3 students to go to the Oaks Nursing Home to complete floral arrangements with the residents. The students planned the types of flowers they wanted to use and calculated how to order the flowers from the wholesaler. This grant helped create a connection with the students and our community!"
