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 during the fall of the school year. Please note that winning projects must be implemented during the school year the grant is awarded. 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 to the Junior League of Chattanooga.
If you have questions, please call 423-267-5053 or contact mini-grants@jlchatt.org. Thank you for your interest.
We are excited to announce the winners for the 2023-2024 Mini-Grants program soon!
