GraceLife is excited to announce Back to School 2026, a special funding opportunity created to support teachers and guidance counselors serving students in the Richland Two School District.

Through Back to School 2026, GraceLife will award five $1,000 grants to full-time teachers and guidance counselors in Richland Two. Grant funds may be used for equipment, classroom activities, field studies, programs, or other resources that directly benefit students and enhance their educational experience. Recipients will be selected based on the potential impact of their proposed idea and how significantly it will enrich learning opportunities for students.

Applications must be submitted online by August 31, 2026, using the button below. Grant recipients will be asked to share a brief written story or testimonial, along with photos, showing how the grant was used and the impact it made on their students.

Grant recipients will be selected and awards distributed in early October.
