Program Details
After schools open, systemic inequities continue to take a greater toll on Black school leaders than their white counterparts.
To combat this, Black Wildflowers Fund has designed this grant program to give Black Teacher Leaders access to a small, yet impactful grant (up to $10,000) to support their existing Wildflower School.
These grants will be issued by a council of teachers who are best positioned to understand and support their peers.
Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible for this grant program, schools must:
-
Have at least one school founder who identifies as Black
-
Be affiliated with Wildflower and serving more than 20 students on or before November 1, 2025.
-
Have a clear, time-sensitive and pressing operational need or opportunity that funding could support.
-
Have not been awarded a School Start-Up Grant in Summer 2025 or an Ignite Grant in Fall 2024.
