EDUCATION FOUNDATION
CLASSROOM MINI GRANTS
Funding Teachers' Bright Ideas!
Since 2011, AEF has granted over $110,000 to classroom teachers in our community!
These grants fund innovative, imaginative and exciting work in our classrooms. Teachers are able to purchase new materials for their classrooms they would not ordinarily be able to afford. These materials go directly into the hands of children in our community!
Teachers can apply twice per year, in the fall and spring. AEF's projects committee reviews applications and funds the top grants meeting our criteria. Teachers are awarded their funds immediately and congratulated at a school board meeting!
