Teacher Assistance
Projects and Programs DVFP Supports
Delaware Valley Fairness Project assists teachers and schools by providing resources for projects that meet the criteria we specify. In the 2023-24 school year, we are not restricting the nature of projects we will consider but are giving priority to experiential learning projects such as student-tended school gardens, student-operated school stores, student councils, student service projects, and many maker-space activities. We are particularly interested in such projects, programs and activities that benefit disadvantaged youth.
What We Do Not Fund
At this time, we do not fund equipment requests such as printers or computers other than as essential to a specific project. We also do not fund general classroom supplies.
Who May Apply
Teachers and staff in any pre-K -12 school in southeastern Pennsylvania or southern New Jersey are eligible to apply.
