Supporting Education


What is the Idaho CapEd Foundation?

Each year teachers find themselves spending their own dollars to fund their classroom projects, so the Idaho CapEd Foundation was created! The Foundation awards grants to Idaho Pre-K through 12th grade teachers and educators to be used for specific and innovative educational classroom projects and school programs. If you are an Idaho teacher or educator at an accredited Idaho school, Pre-K-12, you can apply to receive an $800 grant for your classroom! To get started, check out the Instructions or our FAQs.

Support the Idaho CapEd Foundation

If you're interested in contributing to the Idaho CapEd Foundation, there are a couple of options available. We accept donations of any size that will be used to provide support toward all sorts of educational endeavors. If you would like to be more directly involved, you may also apply as a volunteer to participate in voting or contributing in other ways.
