Each year, the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution sponsors a classroom grant for teachers through the Helen Pouch Memorial Fund administered by the Junior Membership. Two grants are available for each state and for the District of Columbia. Applicants must be a classroom teacher for grades kindergarten through 12th grade (public or private school), be sponsored by a local DAR chapter and complete the grant award application. Proposed projects must directly benefit students in the classroom. Funds may be used for supplies and educational resources, but the applicant must detail how these items help to further the educational goals of the DAR. Grants must directly impact students and may not be used for continuing education/workshops for the teacher.
