Teachers

Hi New Paltz teachers! Have an idea for your classroom or school?

Foundation grants help teachers turn great ideas into reality. Funding can support everything from new classroom materials and creative projects to field trips, visiting artists, special programs, and new ways to engage students. Big idea or small, if it could make learning richer for New Paltz students, we want to hear about it.

Here’s how it works:

  • Complete the funding application through MyLearningPlan.

    Need help? Reach out to your building’s teacher liaison or a Foundation board member.

  • Your principal will review your application and forward approved requests to the district office.

  • The Foundation reviews your proposal to make sure it aligns with our mission. We may contact you with questions or suggested revisions.

  • If approved, we’ll notify you and submit the grant to the Board of Education for formal acceptance.

  • A Foundation liaison will help you navigate purchasing and other next steps.

Students

Hi NPHS students! Have an idea for a project you’d like to make happen?

Student microgrants provide funding to help turn your ideas into action. Start a club project, organize an event, create something for your school, explore an interest, solve a problem, or try something entirely new. You don’t need to have every detail figured out—we’re looking for thoughtful ideas that could make a difference for you or your school community.

Here’s how it works:

  • Think about what you want to explore, create, research, or make happen. Microgrants can support supplies, travel, workshops, subscriptions, equipment, and more.

  • Ask an NPHS teacher to support your project and serve as your supervisor. You’ll need their involvement to complete your application.

  • Tell us about your idea, what you hope to accomplish, and how you’ll use the funding. You can request up to $200. The Foundation will review your application and let you know if your project is selected.

  • Put your grant to work and bring your project to life. When you’re finished, share a few photos and a short description of what you accomplished with the Foundation.
