Active statewide Nevada education funding. The Nevada Department of Education (NDE) announced $7.5 million in DonorsChoose funding for the 2026–27 school year, continuing a $15 million biennial investment in classroom resources.
Funding: eligible Nevada public-school educators may receive up to $500 in classroom resources for qualifying DonorsChoose projects. NDE states that eligible requests are funded on a first-come, first-served basis beginning September 1, 2026.
Eligibility: full-time preschool through grade 12 Nevada public-school educators who spend at least half of their time directly educating or counseling students.
Submission: educators create and submit a project through DonorsChoose. NDE states that DonorsChoose aligns instructional-material requests with Nevada Academic Content Standards. Current DonorsChoose project pages funded through the Nevada program show the state contribution as a one-time donation of up to $500; the platform states that this donation applies to projects with a total project goal under $800, including taxes, shipping, fees, and suggested donation.
Deadline: NDE does not publish a fixed closing date in its September 1 announcement. Funding is first-come, first-served beginning September 1, 2026, so eligible educators should act while the allocated funds remain available.
Match/cost share: no formal matching-funds or cost-share requirement is stated in NDE’s announcement.
Atlas relevance: this is a broad classroom-resource program rather than a healthcare-only grant, but it can support school-health, counseling, special-education, accessibility, and student-wellness needs when the proposed project satisfies DonorsChoose and Nevada requirements. Current Nevada state-supported DonorsChoose projects include health-and-wellness and mental-health-support requests.
N9+ Fit: 12/100. The award size and classroom-resource structure make this a low direct fit for N9+, but the program has meaningful relevance for school-health and student-support projects.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 78/100. The program is current, statewide, officially funded, straightforward for eligible educators, and first-come, first-served, but the per-project state contribution is modest and funding availability can tighten before any formal closing date.
Direct-vendor path: not applicable. This is educator-directed project funding through DonorsChoose rather than a procurement or vendor application.
