Established in 1911, the organization’s primary activities are to foster excellence in education and promote fellowship among educators. KDP advocates for teachers by offering classroom grants to member teachers. Through this program, teachers get financial assistance to launch classroom projects. For example, past recipients have used the funding for library creation, field trips, useful technologies, and guest speakers.
Funded by donations from Dr. Judith F. Evans and Mr. Ralph M. Evans, practicing teachers can apply for 50 grants of $150 that can be used to fund creative, impelling projects. Upon project completion, recipients fill out a survey to share how their classrooms were impacted by the grant.
