Atlas Analysis

The Alabama Power Foundation is accepting applications for Classroom Grants — Cycle 2 2026, providing up to $1,000 to support classroom materials and student-learning needs across Alabama.

Cycle 2 opened September 14, 2026 and closes September 25, 2026. The controlling program page does not publish an exact closing time or time zone.

Eligible applicants are educators serving students in grades K–12. Priority consideration is given to Title I public schools and schools where at least 50 percent of full-time students receive free or reduced-price meals, with preference also given to schools in Alabama Power’s service territory. Nonprofits may partner with schools, but the application must be submitted in the school’s name and grant funds are distributed directly to the school. Nonprofits providing mental-health support in partnership with a school must coordinate with the school to complete the required application information.

Eligible uses include classroom supplies, classroom book sets, library books, furniture or media equipment, resources supporting student mental health and Social Emotional Learning, tutoring materials addressing learning loss, family and community engagement initiatives, and sanitation supplies supporting a safe and healthy learning environment. Applications must explain the purpose, student impact, and estimated number of students served.

Funding: Up to $1,000 per grant. The current public program page does not state a mandatory match or cost-share requirement.

Submission: Online through the Alabama Power Foundation application portal linked from the official Classroom Grant page. The public program page does not list separate mandatory attachments or forms beyond the online application requirements.

Atlas analysis: Atlas Opportunity Score 58/100. N9+ Fit Score 0/100. This is relevant to Atlas school-health and behavioral-health intelligence because mental-health and Social Emotional Learning resources are expressly eligible, but the $1,000 ceiling and classroom-learning scope do not support a legitimate Nonagon N9+ device and platform deployment. Publish for funding completeness; do not force applicant outreach or a device/vendor pathway.
