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 2022-23 school year, we are funding social-emotional learning projects, multi-disciplinary projects, and experiential learning projects such as student-tended school gardens, student-operated school stores, student councils, student service projects, and many maker-space activities. Priority is given to projects, programs and activities benefiting 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.
