Ignite School Innovation &
Sustainability Grant Program
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.
