The Stocker Foundation

2025 Stocker Foundation Grant

Request Ticket // Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 1

At The Stocker Foundation, we're all about helping students from prekindergarten through eighth grade become curious lifelong learners. Our grantmaking supports 21st century reading literacy and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) activities that encourage kindergarten readiness, grade-level reading proficiency, creative thinking, and problem-solving skills. We believe that when all students have access to quality education, they develop a passion for learning, which paves the way for future opportunities.

In 2024, The Stocker Foundation’s Board of Trustees approved 199 grants totaling over $2 million to communities served. Our funding supports:

  • The development of foundational reading and writing skills so that students can read at or above grade level by third grade
  • Cross-disciplinary, project-based STEAM learning that connects subjects through hands-on experiences

We also set aside a small portion of our funding to help remove obstacles that might keep students from academic success.

The Stocker Foundation conducts one grant cycle annually. We welcome applications from organizations who share our passion for transforming educational opportunities for students who need them most.

Deadlines:
Stage 1 (eligibility check) - September 30, 2025
