MINI-GRANTS

EduMatch Foundation Inc. offers mini-grants to support the grassroots projects of educators and students in the United States. Awards are up to $1,500 per project and are given as supplies rather than cash.

​

Our mini-grants are closed right now while we plan the next round. If you'd like to hear when it opens, email us at info@edumatchfoundation.org.

​

The application is comprised of six steps based on a design thinking framework:

1. Define the Problem: What is your big idea?

2. Brainstorm Possible Solutions: What do you plan to make, create, or do to address the need identified in Step One?  

3. Research Ideas/Explore Possibilities: What similar projects may be out there?  How have they addressed this need?  Where is there room for improvement? 

4. Specify Constraints: What obstacles may be in your way to achieving your goal?  

5. Consider Alternatives: How might you overcome these obstacles?  Figure out as many possibilities as you can.

6. Select an Approach: Given the information from steps 1-5, please provide the specifics of what you plan to do with your mini-grant award, should you receive it.
