We are excited to offer K–12 teachers the opportunity to apply for a mini-grant of up to $500 to bring a unique idea, project, or learning experience to their students.

This grant is designed to support creative projects that fall outside the school’s regular funding—ideas that inspire curiosity, encourage hands-on learning, solve a problem, or provide students with an experience they might not otherwise have.

Have an idea that your school couldn’t fund? We want to hear about it!
