Grants for Classrooms & Programs

Each year the PBF awards grants to teachers, staff, and school based programs to support innovative ideas in academics, athletics, emotional wellness and the arts. Applications are due in April, and funds awarded are available for use the following school year.

NOW Grants

Designed specifically with classroom teachers in mind, NOW grants were developed in response to the unprecedented and ever-changing needs of this school year. What would impact your students NOW?  

​

Fill out the application form, submit it to your building principal for approval, and send it to the PBF. We will review and respond as quickly as possible, usually at our monthly board meetings.
