Mission

Colibri Grants, Inc. is a public, non-profit organization committed to grant-making in arts and education. We fund special learning projects in public K-12 classrooms that significantly enhance learning and create engaging student experiences.

Originally launched as a grant program of L'Aiglon Foundation in 2014, Colibri Grants has since issued over 650 grants to classrooms across the US, helping influence the education of over 17,000 students. In 2017, marking a new chapter in its growth, the program became a standalone public non-profit with the goal of growing its grant-making capacity and bolstering engagement between educators and grantmakers.

How we use donations

We operate with minimal overhead costs to maximize funds put toward programming. More funding for programming means more classrooms supported, and that's what we're all about. It's as simple as that.

Who benefits from these grants?

Every year teachers spend, on average, $530 out-of-pocket on classroom supplies to keep their students engaged and passionate about learning. We see school administrators doing their best to support faculty with the resources available, but when the funds are all allocated, there's still a gap. Each school year, the news and the internet are filled with stories of increasingly creative ways teachers are devising to mount the support and the funds they need to run their classrooms effectively.

Our programs benefit the educators who are fundraising, teaching, and still coming out-of-pocket to provide their students with a safe and engaging learning environment.
