Unlike our $2,500 grant program where the proposal submission process is quick and easy, the Dream Big Challenge asks you to provide not only a detailed description of the project but an itemized breakdown of budget, supplies, staff hours and reasonable timelines to execute your Dream Big Challenge idea. Please review all of the requirements and guidelines and COMPLETELY fill out your Dream Big Challenge proposal. Good luck!

- Be a current K through 12 teacher in the United States
