If more than one teacher in your school is interested in applying
for a grant, you may want to submit a collective proposal. We will
provide $75 per teacher in the "collective," (up to $300
per school). This allows you and your colleagues to purchase larger,
more expensive equipment that will be shared among several classrooms.
All that is required is feedback: a class report, student journal
entries, drawings, photos, etc. to show how you and your students
benefited from the grant. Please submit feedback by July 1 in
order to be eligible to participate in the mini-grant program in the
future.
Access these funds by Completing the Water
Education Mini-Grant Application. Only one application
is required for collective proposals. Please contact our
education
coordinator if you have any questions regarding
the application process.
