Big Impact Grants

The Albany Public Schools Foundation will not be accepting applications for the 2020-21 Big Impact grant. Please check back next year for more details.

The grant proposal must be for a collaborative and innovative big impact project including two or more schools. The applicant(s) can be teachers from multiple elementary, middle or high schools who collaborate on a big project/program.  For instance, in 2018-19, the middle schools received funds to help with Outdoor School supplies such as sleeping bags, rain gear and more. In 2017-18 the elementary music teachers received a grant which purchased music instruments for all 15 elementary schools. The goal of this grant program is to help a new program get started or expand an existing program.  The Foundation is looking for an innovative idea that engages kids in hands-on activities.
