Impact Grants
Since its establishment in 2012, the Foundation has awarded nearly $1,000,000 in grants to CCSD students, teachers, and schools. All money raised by CCEF is returned to CCSD through donations, grant opportunities, and other support.
Through our Impact Grant Program, Cherokee County School District teachers can be awarded up to $2,500 for various classroom projects or items. We’ve seen some incredible applications come through and have had the honor to see them through to their completion. Some of the Impact Grants that have been awarded have been used to boost inclusivity and connection, encourage young musicians, and provide supplies for classroom robotics.
These larger-scale projects invest in the students as a whole and may not have been possible without additional funding. When you donate to CCEF, you are a part of students drumming up confidence and making strides in their education.
If you would like to donate, you can mail checks to P.O. Box 4754, Canton, Ga, 30014, or pay by credit card. For any questions or concerns, please contact
Teachers: We will update this page with more information regarding Impact Grants as it’s available. We can’t wait to see your incredible ideas for ways to improve your student’s learning experience. You can also follow us on Facebook to stay up to date on everything going on at CCEF.
Note: Cherokee County Educational Foundation is currently unable to provide funding for iPads. All iPads within CCSD are managed by the district to protect all students' privacy and security.
