At United to Learn, we work alongside Dallas ISD to invest in educators and the classroom experiences that help students thrive. The Lee Nagel Teacher Grant provides funding for teacher-requested classroom resources that support instructional goals, strengthen learning environments, and enhance student learning. The grant also helps ease the financial burden many educators take on personally, reflecting our belief that supporting educators is essential to building thriving schools.

Grants are awarded in the amount of $500.

I have read through the grant guidelines (linked here).
