The Institute for Teaching (IFT) is currently accepting applications for our grant program. Members can apply for either an Educator Grant (up to $5,000) or an Impact Grant (up to $20,000 for teams of educators).

Members who are awarded a grant receive 100% of the funds (unlike many other grant programs where the funds are sent to the grant recipient’s school district who takes a portion of the funds for administrative costs).

Visit our website at cta.org/IFT to access our IFT Grant Program Guide, get information about an upcoming IFT grant training, or to book an appointment during our office hours on Tuesdays 2:00-5:00 pm.

Download the IFT grant program training opportunities flyer and the 2022-2023 grant application flyer.

Applications are due by March 31, 2023.

For questions, email IFT@cta.org.
