Funding Our Classrooms
Carolyn Hornik

One of the difficulties we, as teachers, face is limited funds for classroom supplies. There is help out there. Monetary grants and donations of needed supplies are available to educators.

There are many community resources we can turn to in order to procure materials. Many local store owners are happy to donate materials and goods. For example, carpet squares for our meeting areas can usually be obtained for free just by asking a local carpet dealer. Pencils and paper might be donated by a local stationary storeowner. Publishers will sometimes send sample books, CDs, and DVDs upon request for teachers to examine before ordering. One teacher needed a supply of M&M’s for a math lesson. She wrote to the Mars Corporation and they donated individual M&M’s packages for each student in the class. (If you are a NYC teacher try Materials For The Arts, they offer educators materials and art supplies for free.) There are foundations, corporations and government agencies that offer grant opportunities.

The web sites listed below may be used to obtain information and applications for many grants. It is advisable to begin by reading the web sites that will guide an applicant through the application process. Applicants can use the same unit plans for various grant applications by adapting the plans to fit the requirements of each grant.
