21st Century Educator Grant

Welcome Ramsey Educators!

The Ramsey Public Education Foundation supports and encourages the Ramsey Public Public School Educators in their quest to provide an enriching academic environment for their students. The RPEF will fund unique and innovative grant requests that support educational excellence in the PreK-12 classroom that would otherwise not be funded by the Ramsey Public Public School District budget.

The RPEF is interested in funding projects that fall within the following priorities:  

  • Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics
  • Visual & Performing Arts
  • English Language Arts
  • Social Studies
  • World Languages
  • Health, Wellness, Social-Emotional Learning, Character Development
  • Computer Science and Design Thinking
  • Career Readiness, Life Literacies, Key Skills
  • Other ideas to bring meaningful and innovative learning to our students

We strive to fund projects that directly affect a majority of the students at the school or the district level. We are unable to fund structural facility renovations or maintenance if the grant does not pertain to a specific project or program within one of the priority areas.

Current and previous grants funded by the RPEF include school musicals, poetry programs, character education clubs, Students Run Ramsey Mentoring, Dater Dateline, Tisdale & Hubbard playgrounds, and the high school’s Freshman Orientation event. 

RPEF Trustees would love to discuss your grant ideas.  We will hold a virtual Open House on January 26th at 4pm to provide guidance and answer questions.  This year’s open house will also include an overview of the RPEF Grant process.  A zoom link will be distributed closer to the date.

We are currently accepting grant proposals for the 2022-2023 school year. Proposals will be accepted until February 18, 2022 and applicants will be notified in May 2022. Please review the guidelines and evaluation rubric linked below if you are considering a proposal.  We encourage you to be creative in developing exciting and innovative ways to foster a love of learning and to spark the curiosity of your students.
