NJEA Hipp Foundation
Grant opportunities for NJ public school employees
New Jersey's public school employees are among the most creative and dedicated in the nation. Each day our classrooms are alive with new, exciting, creative, innovative projects.
The NJEA Frederick L. Hipp Foundation for Excellence in Education makes it possible for school employees to receive grants that will help them bring creative ideas to life.
The only foundation of its kind in New Jersey, the Hipp Foundation supports initiatives to promote excellence in education. More than $1.45 million in grants for innovative educational projects that represent a bold, fresh approach by school employees has already been awarded. You can reach for your dreams. Apply for a Hipp grant and bring your innovative ideas to life.
Applications will be accepted by mail with a postmark date no later than March 1 of each year.

Thank you, Dr. Hipp
