Key information:
Grants range from $5,000 to $15,000. Multiple grants may be made in any calendar year. We also give mini-grants of ~$1000 for point purchases.
While grants are made to public school districts, all grant recipients must name an educational sponsor (e.g., a teacher) and a program manager (could be the same person).
Preference is given to programs that:
Emphasize hands-on learning and/or outdoor activities,
Impact all classes in a grade,
Will be renewed in subsequent years, and/or
Offer multi-year experiences.
