TWELVE teachers will be selected to receive a $500 grant to use in their classroom! See below for details…
New in 2025, Gator Bowl Charities has partnered with TaxSlayer to grant classroom wishes for teachers in select counties across Florida, and Georgia. We know that many teachers spend their own money to enhance their classrooms, and we want to help teachers in that effort. As a way to thank and honor educators, eligible teachers are invited to fill out an online application for a grant. Recipients are chosen by a random drawing to receive a $500 classroom grant through DonorsChoose.org.
Applications open at 9:00 am ET on February 3, 2025 and close at 5:00 pm ET on March 28, 2025. Gator Bowl Charities’ Champions of the Classroom recipients will be selected at random and notified via an in-school surprise visit by April 4, 2025. Recipients will receive an email confirmation following the surprise.
All Kindergarten through 12th grade teachers in public and charter schools located in the following counties:
All applications must be submitted online. Please click this link to begin your application.
On average, about 10 minutes.
All recipients will be notified by an in-classroom surprise visit no later than April 4, 2025. Recipients will be sent an email confirmation following their surprise with details on how to receive funded school supplies via DonorsChoose.org. The names of all recipients will also be posted on TaxSlayerGatorBowl.com/Champions
Your classroom will be awarded a $500 grant to spend utilizing DonorsChoose.
If you are randomly selected as a Gator Bowl Charities’ Champions of the Classroom recipient, the $500 grant will be donated to your classroom via DonorsChoose.org. Recipients will be required to post a project to receive funded goods that will be delivered directly to their school/classroom.
The Gator Bowl Charities team works hard to make sure you receive all the information you need to fulfill your granted wish as a recipient. Please email charities@gatorbowl.com to reach our team.
Gator Bowl Charities selects all recipients at random. All applicants are assigned a number and then a random number generator is utilized to select the winning numbers.
We will grant a total of $6,000, so 12 deserving teachers will have their supply list slayed!
All property acquired from the grant shall stay with the school unless otherwise directed by your school officials.
