Pride in the Tiger Foundation is proud to announce that it has awarded $58,119 in Teacher Impact Grants, funding fifty-two projects during its October grant cycle. These grants support innovative learning opportunities for students across Marshall’s public and private schools. Teacher Impact Grants help educators bring innovative ideas into their classrooms, provide resources that meet students’ diverse needs, and create meaningful experiences that extend learning beyond the traditional classroom. From hands-on science and career exploration to literacy, fine arts, and student well-being, each project reflects a commitment to helping Marshall students learn, grow, and succeed.

Exciting things are happening in Marshall classrooms this year, and thanks to a $25,000 Community Grant from the Taco Bell Foundation, students will have even more opportunities to explore what their future could look like. Pride in the Tiger Foundation is excited to once again partner with the Taco Bell Foundation to support Marshall Public Schools. Even more exciting? PITF is one of just twelve nonprofit organizations in Minnesota selected to receive a 2026 Taco Bell Foundation Community Grant. The grant will support career & technical education resource and technology integration in Marshall public schools. The goal is simple: to give students opportunities to gain experience with the kinds of technology, tools, and resources they may encounter in college, technical training programs, and the workplace.

Pride in the Tiger Foundation is excited to announce a $20,000 grant from the U.S. Bank Foundation that will help bring new, hands-on career exploration opportunities to Marshall students through the development of a Practical Assessment Exploration System (PAES) Lab at the Marshall Public Schools Alternative Learning Center (ALC). Awarded through the U.S. Bank Foundation’s Community Possible program, the grant will help students explore careers, develop workplace skills, and build confidence as they prepare for life after high school.
