ACCELERATOR GRANTS FOR EDUCATORS

The IPS Foundation is able to be a resource for IPS educators and student groups to ensure they receive what they need, when they need it, and where they need it. 

To be eligible for an Accelerator Grant, applicants should:

  • Be directly associated with an IPS School, IPS Innovation School, or an IPS Special Program; 

  • Be an educator or administrator of a school or program, or be the leader of a student group;

  • Define an idea, project, or program that aligns with the purpose of the Education Equity Fund;

  • Work with their school principal or lead administrator to identify a project, program, experience, or opportunity for their school or program; and 

  • Spend all previous grant funds down to a balance of zero dollars and complete an impact report, if they are a previous recipient of a grant from the IPS Foundation.
