Classroom Teacher Grants
KDP’s mission is to inspire and equip teachers to thrive. Thanks to the generosity of Dr. Judith F. Evans and Mr. Ralph M. Evans, donors, chapters, and the KDP Store, we provide financial assistance to support this mission with Classroom Teacher Grants. During the 2025-2026 school year, we will offer 28 grants of $200 each to practicing PreK–12 teachers and student teachers.
What could you do with $200 for your students? You are encouraged to submit a compelling application for your creative, engaging, and meaningful projects. The grant funds have been impactful for past recipients who established classroom libraries, purchased much-needed supplies, created makerspaces, incorporated yoga and mindfulness into learning, funded field trips and guest speakers, and utilized new technologies, among other endeavors.
Classroom Teacher Grants are available once per year. Applications for the 2025–2026 cycle are now closed. This program is a benefit for active paid members. You must be logged in to your KDP account to access the application, and you may apply for one grant per cycle. Grant money will be awarded directly to the recipient via ACH. All recipients submit a survey to share the impact of the grant funds.
