TAP into Funds to Support Your Classroom

Attention, teachers and administrators working in K-12 schools in the Greater Washington, DC area!

The FedChoice Charitable Foundation (FCF) invites you to apply for the 2026 Grant Cycle of FCF Teachers’ Aid Program (TAP). TAP provides small educator grants ($250 maximum grant per educator) for teachers of math, business, economics, or general elementary education. These grants may be used for any direct classroom expenses, including, but not limited to, supplies needed to fund a project for the classroom, basic supplies the classroom may be lacking, supplemental items to enhance classroom learning or an experience to enhance classroom learning.

If you are a teacher struggling to find resources for your new classroom projects, please be sure to apply today. Applying is easy.
Please submit our extremely short and simple online application. The deadline for submissions is Monday, December 1, 2025.

      Testimonials

      It’s so important to learn how to save, how to count, you have to learn about money in order to succeed in this world…I know that schools are trying to help kids, but they need more help…I am glad the FedChoice Charitable Foundation is going to focus on financial literacy!

      Community engagement is important to me because I came from a community. A community of people who were raised like me to care about your neighbour
