What We Do
The Foundation supports student success by making grants to teachers, schools and organizations.
For Teachers
The Inspired Educator Grant program supports and recognizes excellence in teaching. These grants deepen the quality of Saint Paul Public School classrooms by giving teachers the resources to go above and beyond for their students. Grant projects are designed to engage students in critical thinking, encourage problem solving and inspire a joy of learning.

Why It Matters
School budgets alone cannot provide the needed resources to support the student success in an urban district the size of Saint Paul. Foundation grants provide funding streams to support student success by helping teachers deepen their instructional practices, by providing funding streams for music and art programs, by supporting service learning, and by supporting organizations dedicated to providing high-quality tutoring in Saint Paul.
