Jordan Brand Grant

Grade 6-12 proposals from high need schools should reflect appropriate needs of students as they relate to the community in which the school exists and be focused on filling gaps in educational access for the same student population. Grants averaging $5,000 will be awarded to individual teachers for projects that will impact classroom innovation and improve instruction.

Inspiration Grants: Previous awardees of Innovation Grants may apply for an Inspiration Grant. Grants ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 will be awarded to teams of teachers to support scaling-up the implementation of successful approaches developed with Innovation Grants.

Successful proposals will demonstrate strengths found on our Eligibility and Guidelines page in addition to the following components:
• Clear and concise project descriptions
• Demonstrated connection of project objectives to student engagement and academic achievement
• Measurable outcomes and targets
• Detailed budgets and practical use of funds

Here are key Jordan Fundamentals dates to remember for the 2009 grant year:

The Jordan Fundamentals Grant Program is funded by the Jordan Brand, a division of NIKE, Inc.
