There are currently 3,013 active grants for k-12 schools in Grantable's free grants database, drawn from foundation sources and updated daily.
Grants for K-12 schools fund instruction, school improvement, technology, and student support through a mix of federal formula grants, state programs, and private giving. The largest federal source is Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (as amended by ESSA), administered by the U.S. Department of Education, alongside Title II, Title III, and Title IV programs. Foundations and corporate funders supplement these with competitive grants for specific initiatives.

Federal Title programs under ESSA support low-income students (Title I), teacher and leader quality (Title II), English learners (Title III), and well-rounded education and school safety (Title IV). Beyond federal funding, schools pursue state grants and private and corporate grants for technology, literacy, arts, and other priorities. Most federal funds flow to districts and are distributed by formula based on student need.
The primary public funder is the U.S. Department of Education through ESEA/ESSA Title grants distributed via state education agencies to local school districts. State and local governments provide the majority of overall K-12 funding, while private foundations and corporate giving programs fund competitive grants for specific programs and innovations. Federal dollars are designed to supplement, not replace, state and local resources.
Major federal formula grants such as Title I flow to local education agencies (districts), which then allocate funds to qualifying schools, so individual schools usually do not apply directly. Competitive grants from foundations and corporations may accept applications from individual schools, parent organizations, or educators. Review each opportunity to confirm whether the district, school, or an individual is the eligible applicant.
