    The Everett Public Schools Foundation is proud to offer classroom grants that ignite curiosity, creativity, and meaningful learning. These grants are designed to enhance the district’s core curriculum by supporting innovative, hands-on projects that engage students in real-world experiences. Whether exploring diversity and equity, developing critical and creative thinking skills, or diving into music, fitness, the arts, and field-based learning, our goal is to fund ideas that inspire students and make learning unforgettable.


    Grant Priorities – We prioritize projects that:

    • Spark student excitement and engagement.
    • Provide real-world, experiential learning.
    • Promote diversity, equity, and inclusion.
    • Build creative, critical thinking, and practical skill sets.


    Before You Apply – Please read this application carefully. Incomplete applications, or those that do not align with the Everett Public Schools Strategic Plan and the foundation’s mission, will not be considered.

    Plan Ahead – Your application:

    • Must be reviewed and approved by your principal before submission.
    • Must align with district curriculum guidelines.
    • May require a LITS review if your project involves technology. Please refer to the district website under Technology Equipment Standards for guidance.
    • Must follow district purchasing guidelines. Purchase only approved materials. If needed, complete a Supplemental Materials Form.


    Important Note – Applications must be completed at one time. Partial applications cannot be saved. We recommend printing the list of questions and preparing your responses in advance.
