Teachers of children with disabilities have the best insights into effective teaching methods. However, they often face financial limitations, as funds from regulated tax dollars may not cover the costs of enhanced projects. Since 2002, the Special Education Foundation has been bridging this gap, providing support where tax dollars fall short.
The Classroom Innovation Grants program empowers teachers to develop and implement creative projects that make a significant impact on students with disabilities. By providing financial assistance, the Special Education Foundation enables educators to bring their innovative ideas to life, creating enriching learning experiences that would otherwise be unattainable.
These projects benefit not only the immediate classroom but also serve as models for replication in other educational settings, thereby amplifying their overall impact. Eligibility and Preferences : Projects should be innovative and capable of being replicated in other settings. The Foundation does not fund items that should be covered by public funds, such as books and equipment, transportation, or staff development.
Teachers are required to report their project results to SEF the following year by completing the Feedback Form. To increase your chances of being awarded a grant, read Helpful Hints for Applying and be a stand out to reviewers. Questions?

Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Education & Human Resources (IUSE: EHR) Program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This program promotes novel, creative, and transformative approaches to generating and using new knowledge about STEM teaching and learning to improve STEM education for undergraduate students. It supports projects that bring recent advances in STEM knowledge into undergraduate education, adapt, improve, and incorporate evidence-based practices, and lay the groundwork for institutional improvement in STEM education. Professional development for instructors to ensure adoption of new and effective pedagogical techniques is a potential topic of interest.
The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line.
