Mission Statement
Fund for Teachers enriches the personal and professional growth of teachers by recognizing and supporting them as they identify and pursue opportunities around the globe that will have the greatest impact on their practice, the academic lives of their students and on their school communities.

Program Description
Fund for Teachers meets the need of "individualized" learning for teachers by supporting professional learning opportunities of their own design. The Fund provides fellowship grants directly to teachers, with more than three years of experience, to support their professional learning during the summer. Their experiences come in many forms, but share the purpose of better teaching. Ultimately, the Fund believes that by experiencing the potential of their personal and professional learning, teachers in turn inspire potential in their students.
