TYPES OF GRANTS AVAILABLE
· Mini Grants
The Foundation will award mini grants of up to $1,500 to educators for enrichment projects or programs and the associated equipment and materials.
Time-sensitive grants that do not coincide with the annual grant cycle may also be considered throughout the year. These “out-of-cycle” proposals will be considered similarly as Mini Grant Proposals and may not exceed $1,500. Please refer to the Grant Application Instructions for more information.
· Program Grants
Program grants of up to $10,000 will be awarded for novel programs which support multidisciplinary projects, and/or collaborative grade level, school level, and community projects. Through our program grants, we seek to enhance the educational experience and demonstrate the viability of model programs that could be implemented throughout the community. This category also includes “professional-in-residence” programs that bring skilled artisans or experts into the classroom or community to work with students.
· Directed Grants (will not be awarded for the ’06-’07 school year)
The Foundation will award directed grants of over $10,000 for projects that are global in scope and benefit a broad range of students, multiple schools and disciplines, grade levels and the entire Avon community.
