Spring 2019 Teacher Mini-Grant.
The Kyrene Foundation awards teacher mini-grants to provide enhanced learning opportunities for our students.
Kyrene teachers may apply for up to $500.00 per classroom for items such as guest speakers, supplies, materials, equipment and educational study trips. New this year, teacher teams may submit a single group grant (the request can be $500.00 per teacher, so a grade-level team of three teachers can request $1,500). The grant program reimburses teachers (or schools) for expenditures up to the approved grant amount if awarded. The grant application consists of a one to two (1-2) page(s) narrative and signed application cover page for a total of no more than three (3) pages.
Submit completed application by 4:00 p.m. Friday, Feb. 22 by email to: minigrants@cox.net
