Mini-Grants

CALLING ALL HAMILTON COUNTY TEACHERS!

JLC Mini-Grants is a program designed to provide funding for creative and effective teaching projects to educators in the Hamilton County public school system. JLC remains committed to helping teachers provide exciting, challenging and rewarding learning experiences for their students.

Any elementary, middle or high school teacher or team of teachers in the Hamilton County public school system is eligible to apply for a grant and may participate by submitting his or her project ideas to the JLC website.

2022-2023 Application Now Available HERE 
Deadline to Apply: October 14, 2022 11:59pm.

Click the tabs to the right for the Mini-Grants Application and previous Mini-Grant Winners.

To apply for a Mini-Grant, please complete the following steps:

Principal’s approval is required on all Mini-Grant applications.  Central office approval is not required for JLC grants.

-Please fill out all fields completely.

To be considered, all applications must be received by October 14, 2022 at 11:59 PM

Please use the following guidelines when completing your application for a Mini-Grant:

•   Projects should directly involve students as much as possible. For example, an audiovisual program developed for classroom use should be written and produced by students.

•   Funds can be used to purchase equipment or to provide field trip transportation, but not when these are the end in themselves. Equipment and trips should be just one component of a well-planned unit of instruction.

•   Interdisciplinary, team-teaching projects or projects with multiple age groups are permitted.

•   Portions of grants can be used to compensate experts who come to work with students but not to pay public school teachers or staff.

•   In keeping with the Junior League’s commitment to families and children, we encourage projects that include some type of parental involvement in the process when appropriate and possible.

•   Portions of grants cannot be used to pay for food, receptions, parties, etc.

•   Active, Provisional and Sustaining members of Junior League of Chattanooga are ineligible to apply for grants.

Grant recipients will be notified in Fall 2020. Please note that winning projects must be implemented during the 2020-2021 school year. All grant recipients are required to complete a final evaluation and completion report upon conclusion of the project. This report is due by May 31, 2021 to the Junior League of Chattanooga.

If you have questions, please call 423-267-5053. Thank you for your interest.

We are excited to announce the winners for the 2022-2023 Mini-Grants program soon!

Congratulations teachers, students and schools!

Thank you to our generous community partner, Hamico Foundation make JLC Mini-Grants possible!
