OUR GRANTS

Education Grants

Most of the Foundation’s Grants are invested in education programs serving disadvantaged students. Grant applications are accepted through an invitation only process.

IMPACT

Teach On Project

Together, the Michaels family began the first iteration of the Teach On Project – an organization that identifies and celebrates excellent educators in five Metro Atlanta public school districts.

EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT

Educator Grants

Through the Teach On Project, we have granted over 130 educators $7,500 each: one-third of the money to fund a classroom or school project, one-third to pursue a professional development opportunity, and one-third for the winner’s personal use.
