Public School Funding Program

Public School Funding Program

The ONE Gas Foundation Public School Funding program aims to enhance the classroom experience in middle and high schools (grades 5-12) to promote workforce development in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. ONE Gas funding is available from June through November each year.

Giving Priorities

  • Classroom enrichment projects and instructional technology

  • Durable curriculum-based teaching materials and equipment

  • Projects reaching the greatest number of students

Process

We support secondary education (grades 5-12) by partnering with DonorsChoose.org to support their teacher-driven funding platform. DonorsChoose.org is an independent 501(c)(3) organization operating a nationwide website spotlighting instructional needs in public school classrooms.

Through this partnership, ONE Gas and its operating companies — Kansas Gas Service, Oklahoma Natural Gas and Texas Gas Service — review the applications submitted by teachers and award funds to those we believe represent maximum classroom enrichment. This competitive review process of STEAM proposals submitted by teachers involves internal evaluation of grant requests based on impact, innovation, socio-economic need and estimated duration of use.

Eligibility Criteria
