Who can apply

In the funder’s own words, from billofrightsinstitute.org, checked Oct 10, 2026.

Money covers educator stipends, student prizes, materials and event costs, not general classroom supplies or unrelated travel. It must be spent within 6 months. You get a toolkit and staff support, and you must send a planning update before the fair and a final report (student count, project summaries, at least 5 photos with media releases, budget, a 250-word reflection) within 30 days after.
