The FTS adopted the DonorsChoose platform to facilitate our Grants for Great Ideas in order to maximize funding potential for TPS teachers and classrooms. Many of our donors were already using DonorsChoose and matching funds given. DonorsChoose also handles the aspect of purchasing and delivery allowing our teachers and staff to focus on theclassrooms.
Subject areas that are eligible for Grants for Great Ideas are Art, Music, Health & Wellness, Literacy, STEAM, Enrichment, or Special Education. However, if you have a great idea that you do not feel fits into these seven areas, please submit it with your reasoning of why it is a Great Idea!

Yes! Way to go! Create a new project following the guidelines and email meadobr@tulsaschools.org.
DonorsChoose will allow more than one project at a time for an educator. However, you are only eligible to receive a Grant for Great Ideas once per school year.
