In collaboration with the Phoenix Foundation of Central Florida, Teacher Impact Grants are now open to support Music, Theater, and Dance programs in K-12th grade classrooms for supplies, materials, equipment, and/or equipment repair to enhance their students' 2023-24 school year. 

 

Funds will be provided for selected proposals that creatively and productively use music and//or theatre to enhance methods of instruction and students' educational experience. 

Grant requests for projects funding up to $15,000 will be accepted.  NOTE: Consumable and single-use items (makeup, ballet shoes, rights to shows, field trips, etc.) are not eligible for funding. 

 

A school may submit more than one proposal for consideration; however, only one grant per applicant may be submitted. 

 

The Phoenix Foundation of Central Florida committee/board will lead the application judging in a competitive process, with preference given to creative, well-written proposals that clearly and comprehensively describe how this project will meet your student's academic needs.

 

Be sure your budgeted items can be purchased through OCPS ordering guidelines and that you are using an OCPS-approved vendor for all purchases. Companies can get vendor status by submitting their information through the OCPS vendor portal: vendor.ocps.net.
