 Grant Application 

Are you an educator with an original and innovative project designed to enhance the teaching and learning methods within the Gahanna-Jefferson Public Schools? Great! We have two categories for you to apply, Mini-Grants and Grants of Excellence. We encourage you to review your options below and apply for the grant that is best suited to meet your needs.

Through our competitive grant process, over $2.1 million has been distributed across the district for programs that enrich and strengthen our students' educational experience. 


Grants of Excellence (Awarded in the spring)

The Gahanna-Jefferson Education Foundation is proud to offer "Grants of Excellence" each year. These grants may total up to $1,000 per teacher or up to $2,500 if multiple grades and staff. 

The Gahanna-Jefferson Education Foundation strives to support efforts that impact students directly and foster improved student performance. Funding priority will be given to projects that are innovative and utilize resources effectively and efficiently.

Applications for the  2023-24 Grants of Excellence are due Friday, January 26, 2024


Mini Grants  (Awarded in the fall)

The Gahanna-Jefferson Education Foundation Mini Grants provide a financial means for educators to create experiences that enrich student learning.  These Mini Grants, for up to $500 each, may be used for classroom resources and educational materials to:

  • Promote Wellness
  • Support At-Risk Students
  • Enhance Curriculm Enrichment

Applications for the  2023 Mini-Grants are due Friday September 8, 2023


Who is eligible to apply for a grant?

Any Gahanna-Jefferson Public Schools educator may submit a grant application. Applications must be signed by a supervising principal or administrator.

Are there items that may not be funded with GJEF grant proceeds?

GJEF grants are intended to provide equipment and tools that enhance classroom learning.

GJEF grant monies may not be used to pay for field trips, transportation costs, t-shirts, refreshments or snacks, incentive items, staff salaries or the cost of substitute staff.   Programs and items which could be funded through traditional school or public funding sources will not be funded.

How do I apply for a GJEF grant?

  • Applications for the Mini-Grants are submitted in September.  
  • Applications for the Grants of Excellence are submitted in January each year. 

(Grant forms are available at the links above.)

When will grants be awarded?

Fall Mini-Grant recipients will be awarded in October.

Spring Grant of Excellence recipients will be announced at the April Gahanna-Jefferson Public Schools Board Meeting.

What are the requirements of grant recipients?

Grant recipients are required to acknowledge the GJEF as a supporting organization when publicizing their project.  Recipients may also be asked to prepare project displays to be used by the Foundation.  Posts on Facebook and Twitter are also appreciated.

Whom do I contact if I have any questions?
