Lindbergh Schools Foundation Innovation Grants

Lindbergh Schools Foundation Innovation Grants

The Foundation Innovation Grant Program encourages and supports the efforts of district teachers and staff members who propose innovative projects to engage their students in more creative and exciting ways. Our adoption of the "rolling grants" approach has proven immensely successful, resulting in a record-breaking number of grants being conferred upon our staff.

To date, the Foundation has generously contributed over $235,000 in resources benefiting 600+ Lindbergh teachers and staff members through the Innovation Grant Program.
