Vanderbilt University may submit up to two applications to The Braitmayer Foundation K-12 Innovative Practices Grants. The selected applications must be from different departments.

The Braitmayer Foundation is interested in proposals utilizing innovative practices in K-12 education throughout the United States. Of particular interest are:

  • curricular and school reform initiatives
  • preparation of and professional development opportunities for teachers, particularly those that encourage people of high ability and diverse background to enter and remain in K-12 teaching

The foundation awards grants up to $35,000 for one year.

Unless a small percentage of the total amount requested, normally the foundation does not make grants for child care, pre-kindergarten, or after-school programs nor for equipment including hardware, software or books.
