Questions teachers ask
Are there grants just for PE teachers?
Not on our list right now. We only publish grants we have checked on the funder page. PE teachers can apply for the 21 open-subject grants on this page if they meet the location and eligibility rules.
Can PE teachers apply for general classroom grants?
Yes, if you meet the other rules. 21 grants on GrantCountdown accept projects in any subject. Many of the open-subject grants come from local education foundations and only accept teachers in one district, so check the "Where" line and the funder page.
Do I have to pay to apply?
Applying for a grant should never cost you money, so never pay anyone to apply for you. Some funders do require you to be a member of their organization, and that is noted on the listing.
