The Foundation began awarding mini-grants in 1999-2000. Since then, over $60,000 of mini-grants have been awarded to 120 recipients. These mini-grants directly impact our teachers,  students, and the Spencer School district.
What is a mini-grant?
Mini-Grants are awards of up to $1,000.
The purpose of the Mini-Grant program is designed to support innovative projects and programs that enhance the school curriculum, enrich the learning experience for students and promote staff development outside the parameters of the regular school system. Mini-Grants should expand opportunities not otherwise available to teachers ro students.
Three types of mini-grants are available:
- Classroom Project
- Teachers' Continued Learning
- Student Opportunity
Some comments recieved from recent mini-grant recipients:
- "We would not have been able to bring these speakers to our students without your support!"
- "Your generous donation of $500 is making a difference in children's lives"
- "An important component of the after-school session was participation in service-learning activities. The girls made blankets for Head Start children; assembled emergency kits for home-bound elderly residents; and made and delivered toy boxes to the CAASA safe house......partially funded by a Spencer Schools Foundation mini-grant."
- "Our "D.R.E.A.M." project was a huge success. Thank you for your help with funding."
