Jennings Fund for Teachers

Martha Holden Jennings Foundation

Grant Provider's 990

Agency: Foundation

GrantWatch ID #199165

Grant Description

Fellowships of up to $5,000 to USA educators and up to $10,000 to teams of educators to improve professional skills. This program is open to full-time K-12 teachers. Eligible proposals should include creative, thoughtful projects or activities that demonstrate potential for learning for the teacher, the student, and the school community.

Teachers are most effective, and improve in their practice, when they are problem solvers and innovators, who take risks, learn, reflect, and collaborate. Teachers who pursue Fund for Teachers’ transformational learning experiences catalyze these problem-solving experiences for themselves and students, ultimately changing schools and communities. Fellowship proposals that prioritize teachers seeking solutions to their own, genuine problems of practice will be best aligned to the program's goals. In addition, proposals that have the potential to center students as changemakers for problems in their communities are highly encouraged to apply.

Goals of a Fund for Teachers fellowship are for educators to:

  • Serve as problem solvers and innovators who create solutions to real problems of practice;
  • Reflect on their experience as a learner and transfer the most powerful aspects of their experience to student learning;
  • Integrate their experiences as Fund for Teachers Fellows into their teaching to create more globally minded students who are empowered to take action;
  • and grow as leaders and change makers.
