Join the GRANT COHORT for 2023-2024

Bring your grant idea to be shared and workshopped with other innovative educators for multiple work sessions to take place at Goodworks during 3 early release dates. During these gatherings, educators will work with one another as well as grant committee members to complete the grant process with guided support.

Inspiring Educational Leadership and Commitment

Our goal is to strive for excellence in education by creating opportunities for educators to pilot innovative teaching practices or cutting edge programs that advance the curriculum goals of the district.

The Clipper Foundation Funding Priorities

The Clipper Foundation has identified the following priorities for evaluating grant proposals.  Preference will be given to proposals that:

  • Create programs that are innovative and connect to the curriculum

  • Explore new teaching practices

  • Include experiential, cross-disciplinary, or multi-grade learning experiences

  • Build community connections

  • Enable clear and demonstrable growth in student learning

  • Achieve goals that are aligned with SAU 50 and 52

  • Create programs that have the potential to be replicated and benefit the school or district rather than a single classroom
