Resources

The Foundation for Tulsa Schools is committed to providing educational resources and opportunities for all students at Tulsa Public Schools. With community support and assistance we are able to offer teachers the ability to apply for Grants for Great Ideas, take advantage of the Explore Oklahoma program, and prepare their students for learning with regular Teacher Supply Days.

Grants for Great ideas - Donorschoose

Are you a teacher with a great idea?

The Foundation for Tulsa school has migrated to DonorsChoose for all requests for Grants for Great Ideas for teachers. To post a project please follow the links to the DonorsChoose website. If you would like your project to be considered for Grants for Great Ideas please email the DonorChoose link to Brena Meadows Thrash at meadobr@tulsaschools.org.

Grants for Great Idea submissions should be submitted by the first of each month to be considered by the grant committee that month. Subject areas that are eligible for GFGI are Art, Music, Health & Wellness, Literacy, STEAM, Enrichment, or Special Education. Submissions should also address how the idea will improve student learning or achievement. Award decisions will be made by the 2nd Friday of each month.

EXPLORE Oklahoma

Helping students dream big by showing them our culture and history.

Funded field trips for TPS schools

Many or our students have not had the opportunity to fully explore our state, or even our thriving city. Students need to believe that Tulsa, Oklahoma is a city and state they can live in, contribute to, and a place that welcomes them. To build strong bonds between our students and their home, the Foundation for Tulsa Schools is excited to foster a grant opportunity for schools in the Tulsa area. Explore Oklahoma exposes students to the cultural and historical treasures of our area, allowing them to dream big in their academic and personal pursuits.

Teachers from schools within Tulsa Public Schools can submit ideas for field trips and receive funding for bus transportation. Teachers are eligible to receive the grant one time each school year.

Teachers will be notified by FTS of their funding decision within two weeks of application. Applications are reviewed on the 1st & 3rd Wednesday of the month.

Allstate Helping Hands

We would like to thank the Allstate Foundation for partnering with us to provide funding for transportation that allows students to take field trips and explore Tulsa. Through the Helping Hands Grant, we are able to expand students’ minds and creative thinking, increase social awareness of their community and offer space for them to dream big about their futures. Together, we help communities thrive.
