We believe a thriving city depends on a successful public education system that relies on three things: motivated students, caring adults, and an engaged community. We bring those three strands together to weave a dedicated and trustworthy network of public school support.

How has a teacher made a difference in your life, or the life of a student you know? Tell us your story so we can celebrate educators together!

Since 2016, we’ve awarded over 185 classroom grants to KCPS teachers. These instructional grants empower KCPS educators to bring to life education-related passion projects that impact learning across academic disciplines. Each year, the Foundation aims to award $50,000+!

KCPS schools and the office of the Education Foundation will be closed from December 19, 2022, to January 2, 2023, in observance of Winter Break.
