Are you looking for a funding source to help support your Direct Instruction implementation? The Engelmann Foundation, created in 1997, could be the answer to your need. The foundation is dedicated to continuing the legacy of Siegfried "Zig"

Engelmann through the support, promotion, and development of educators around the world who implement Direct Instruction with their students.

Over the years, the foundation has distributed 112 grants totaling over $729,000. The Engelmann Foundation offers two grant opportunities: General Grants and Conference Grants. General Grants are designed to support projects, training and development, implementation, and other similar endeavors that utilize Direct Instruction (DI) programs. Conference Grants are tailored to provide funds to attend the annual National Direct Instruction Conference hosted by the National Institute for Direct Instruction in Eugene, Oregon, each July. Both grant application types operate on a twice-yearly schedule. The deadline for submitting grants for the current cycle is April 1, with the second submission date falling on October 2.
