The Ellison Education Grants were created to empower and support Washington State’s most effective, innovative and inspirational K- 12 public school teachers. Their goal is to support lifelong achievement and success of Washington State students. This is done by providing support to educators who design academic enrichment curriculum for students and or professional learning experiences for their current practice. The Ellison Foundation supports a classroom teacher’s expertise in understanding their own professional learning needs and the needs of their students. The Ellison Foundation has awarded 83 grants and $381,000 in the last six years.

The Ellison Foundation wishes to award at least 12 grants in the Spring of 2023 for the 2023-24 school year. Grant amounts range between $1,000 and $10,000.

Applications are accepted from January 9 through April 1, 2023.
