Casey’s Cash for Classrooms grant program is accepting submissions for 2025 grants, beginning today through November 15, 2024. The grant program supports projects and initiatives at accredited K-12 public and non-profit private schools in the 17 states where Casey’s operates.
“Casey’s is here for our communities' students, teachers, and schools. The Cash for Classrooms grant program has positively impacted hundreds of schools over the past four years,” said Katie Petru, Director of Communications and Community. “The generosity of our guests during our annual Cash for Classrooms round-up campaign makes these grants possible and we look forward to receiving applications from our communities.”
Since Casey’s introduced the program in 2020, the Cash for Classrooms grant program has awarded over 300 grants totaling more than $4 million to schools in its footprint, with the impact of these funds immeasurable.
Grants up to $50,000 may be requested and used for various projects and initiatives focused on physical improvements, material needs, teacher support, and community engagement initiatives. Examples of recent grants include:
