Teacher Mini-Grants
The Allendale Community Foundation invites our schools to apply for mini-grant funding to try out a new idea or buy the “extras” for an already great lesson plan or project.
Grants of up to $250 are awarded to teachers to enhance their instructional program. Any teacher, counselor, or administrator employed in a public or private school located in the Allendale area is eligible to apply. Grants are limited to one per classroom and one per teacher per school year.
The next Teacher Mini-Grant deadline is September 22, 2023. Funding outcomes will be communicated following the Advisory Board Meeting on November 14, 2023.
