Grants
The Education Foundation offers two kinds of grants: C-Note grants and General grants.
-
C-Note Grants
Our $100 “C-Note” Mini Grant Program is the Ed Foundation's means to put donated funds to work directly where they are needed most -- right in the classroom! The idea behind this is to give you, the teacher, the means to do that "fun" project with your students that you have always wanted to do but were unable to because there was no money to fund it. Now there is!
Applying is easy. Are you an MPUSD teacher or staff member who works directly with students? If yes, and you haven't received a grant from us in the past 6 months, you are eligible. Simply send us an email that describes your project or event in a short paragraph. Fifty words or less will be sufficient, but you're welcome to write as much as you'd like.
Deadline
5:00pm, Friday
Jan. 23, 2012Dec. 19 Application window opens Jan. 23 Application window closes at 5:00pm Jan. 27 Succesful recipients notified Feb. 1 Distribution of awards If you are applying with other teachers for a common project, each teacher must submit a separate application (yes, they can be identical).
Be sure to include your name, contact information, school name, and grade taught. Please cc your principal so she or he is aware that you are applying.
That's it! If you are awarded one of the grants, we only ask that you spend the money within one year of receiving it and then tell us how it went. Click here to see a list of some of the project/events that have been awarded so far.
