The program is open to all K–12 educators—including those working in libraries, gymnasiums, and outdoor learning environments—across the 27 Oregon counties SELCO serves.

Projects must demonstrate a clear vision for creating accessible, inclusive, and purposeful learning environments. Applications for the 2026 grant cycle open August 15 and close September 30, 2025. Educators are encouraged to think creatively about what "classroom" means when preparing their proposals.
