how it works
how it works
how it works
Each year, Leeds City School teachers are invited to submit grant applications that support innovative classroom projects, essential resources, and creative learning opportunities. To ensure fairness, the Board does not know which teacher submitted an application when they are reviewed and voted on. By giving, you make it possible for educators to dream bigger and do more for their students.

Our goal
Our goal is simple yet powerful: to encourage every Leeds City School teacher to take part in the grant process and to fully fund 100% of the applications that qualify. By removing barriers and supporting innovative ideas, we aim to ensure that no worthy project goes unfunded. With the continued generosity of our donors, we strive to create classrooms where teachers have the tools they need and students have the opportunities they deserve.
