2017 Mini-Grants to Teachers
The Hampshire Community Foundation (HCCF) is offering Mini-Grants to Teachers in Hampshire County. These Mini-Grants of up to $250 will be awarded to teachers who need financial assistance with special projects, materials, or classroom resources. Our Partners in Philanthropy, joined by individual donors committed to enhancing the quality of life Hampshire County by supporting the growth of the Hampshire County Education Fund, make these mini-grants possible.
The Need
More and more, teachers are faced with the challenge of keeping children interested and engaged with few resources beyond the basics. In its first couple of years, the Mini-Grants to Teachers program awarded grants to fund classroom book sets, art supplies, a river tank system, digital cameras, atlases, construction materials and more. This year, Mini-Grants will be awarded to teachers who have a burning desire to improve the classroom experience for their students, and the ability to inspire the members of our grants committee to support your efforts.
How Does It Work?
Through a simple one-page application, Pre-k -12 public school teachers in Hampshire County can apply for a grant of up to $250.
The objective is to encourage and support teachers who have great ideas that will enhance the learning experience for students. Mini-Grants can be used to purchase supplies and materials for special projects; provide resources for the classroom; and support projects and programs that are not covered by school budgets or other means.
All grant recipients are expected to report on the expenditure of grant funds and results of the supported project by the end of the school year (June 2018).
Who Can Apply?
All Hampshire County Public School Pre-k -12 teachers, including WVSD&B teachers, are invited to apply for a Mini-Grant. Post-secondary schools/teachers are not eligible at this time.
