The Franklin Foundation's classroom-centric programs put students in closer contact with the sciences, technologies, and mathematics through applied , real-world supplemental instruction and support; enabling teachers to prove application and establish relevance to the vast array of careers supported by these critical disciplines.
Grant Opportunities for the Sciences & Technologies
Federal and state funding sometimes falls short of needs calling for philanthropic organizations like the Franklin Foundation to pick up the slack. We provide grants to eligible schools for equipment, apparatus, technology, books, supplies, etc., to needy public schools and learning centers.
