To all PCCSS teachers and staff:
We are excited to share the relaunch of the Putnam Education Foundation. The foundation got its start in 2019 and this relaunch marks a renewed commitment to providing the “extra mile” of funding—ensuring that Putnam’s students and teachers have the resources to soar far beyond the limitations of standard state and local budgets.
On March 17, 2026, applications open for our first round of Teacher Grants. Apply today for an opportunity to turn your great ideas for students into experiences that will help them learn and grow! We know you are busy, so we hope you find this process easy and straightforward. The deadline for this first round of grants is on March 31 at 5 p.m., and we will award the grants before spring break.
We know that PCCSS teachers and staff make things happen for our students and we can’t wait to see your grant projects. Grant requests of up to $1,500 will be considered. You need the approval of your supervising principal or unit director.
If you have any questions, please email info@putnameducationfoundation.org.
Thanks for all you do every day in our schools.
