Educator Grants now open. Apply Now.

Helping teachers bring the best possible learning conditions to life.

We believe teachers are the backbone of our school communities. They build on their experiences and know what works in classrooms and schools. That’s why IFT grants fund teacher-driven projects to build their capacity and strengthen what’s working in public schools.
