2022-23 Hampshire Mini-Grants to Teachers
The Hampshire Community Foundation (HCCF) is offering Mini-Grants to Teachers in Hampshire County. These Mini-Grants of up to $500 will be awarded to teachers who need financial assistance with special projects, materials, or classroom resources.
The program is designed to provide funding support for teachers to enhance the learning experience for students. Mini-Grants can be used to purchase supplies and materials for special projects and programs and provide resources for the classroom that are not covered by school/central office sources or other means.
Who Can Apply?
All Hampshire County Public School Pre-k – 12 teachers, including WVSD&B teachers, are invited to apply for a Mini-Grant. Public schools are defined as being supported by public funds and are part of the free public education system. Any school that charges tuition to students is not eligible.
NOTE: If you received a grant last year and have not yet submitted a report, please do so before applying for another grant. You may complete your report here.
Keep in mind…
- Please be thorough in your explanation and clearly state how the funding will impact students, promote creative teaching opportunities, and/or enhance classroom experiences. You can request examples of well-structured applications by email: apancake@ewvcf.org
- Grant requests that are part of a larger project without confirmed funding will not be considered.
- Grants cannot be used for projects already completed or materials already purchased.
- 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 (extensions may be requested).
