Outdoor Classroom Grant Program

Lowe’s Charitable and Educational Foundation, International Paper and National Geographic Explorer! Magazine have teamed up to create an outdoor classroom grant program. The program focus is to engage students in hands-on natural science experiences and allow enrichment opportunities across the core curriculum. All K-12 public schools in the United States are welcome to apply.

This school year, the program will award grants up to $2,000 to at least 100 schools. In some cases, grants for up to $20,000 can be awarded to schools or school districts with major outdoor classroom projects. Please click here to begin the application process.

Lowe's Toolbox for Education Lowe’s recognizes the importance of parent involvement in education. To empower parents and further encourage their involvement in their children's schools, we have established the Lowe's Toolbox for Education grant program to fund school improvement projects initiated by parents. Launched in partnership with PTO Today, a leading organization serving parent-teacher groups, Toolbox for Education will provide grants of up to $5,000 for public school improvement projects initiated by parents. Up to 1,000 grants nationwide will be awarded during the 2005-2006 school year.
