Supporting Teachers & Classrooms for Student Success
Our Teacher Grants Program supports innovation in the classroom. Since being launched in the 2015-16 school year, the Renton Schools Foundation has provided 189 Teacher and Support Staff with direct grants totaling more than $284,000 for use in the classrooms supporting student learning!
2023-24 Teacher Classroom Grants totaled over $57,500!
With our donors' generosity and the generosity of Renton community partnerships, we were able to fulfill over $57,500 in educator classroom grant requests! Below is a quick snapshot of some of those grants! Special thanks to our community partners: The Boeing Company, the Bergquist Family Fund, and the Joy Poff Fund for Education and Families.
