The Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) funds and administers state and federal K–12 education programs across Georgia, with strong emphasis on special education services (IDEA), ESSA program delivery (Title I/II), teacher professional development, and classroom innovation. Grants are primarily formula-driven or allocated from federal/state appropriations and are directed to regional providers (GLRS), local education agencies, schools, and intermediary organizations that deliver statewide technical assistance or teacher-led innovation. GaDOE’s discretionary IDEA funds support statewide special education projects and assistive-technology initiatives, while partner organizations like the Georgia Foundation for Public Education run competitive small- and mid-sized teacher and classroom grant programs on GaDOE’s behalf.
Primarily formula-based federal/state allocations to school districts and regional providers with some discretionary, invite-only/stateboard-approved IDEA funding for statewide projects; competitive grants for teachers and schools are administered via partners (Georgia Foundation for Public Education) on annual cycles. Most awards follow fixed federal timelines (July–September fiscal periods) or partner-established application windows; unsolicited proposals are generally not accepted for federal allocations or IDEA formula funds.

For federal formula funds and IDEA allocations, LEAs receive allocations automatically—do not submit unsolicited proposals; for discretionary IDEA statewide projects, watch for GaDOE-issued proposal materials in April with early-May deadlines and State Board review in June. For teacher and school innovation grants, apply through the Georgia Foundation for Public Education during its spring or rolling grant cycles (check GFPE site for exact deadlines and application requirements).
