Mini-Grants
Pfund Me Mini-Grants
We are offering all PfISD teachers the opportunity to apply for Mini-Grants. The purpose of these grants is to enhance, promote and augment classroom instruction in areas not routinely allocated in regular budgetary funds or not eligible for reimbursement from other sources. You can use the money for things like classroom field trips, conference registration fees, professional development, equipment, etc. (NOTE: Mini-Grant funds are not available for personnel costs, technology or personal travel expenses.)
Application
The Mini-Grant Application is online and can be found here:
Submission Deadlines
The Mini-Grant application needs to be submitted before the 3rd Thursday of each month to be considered for that month.
The due date for September is Thursday October 21.
Awarding of Funds
PEF will award 4 Mini-Grants each month from September to December up to $1000.
Teachers may apply more than once per year. Teachers who have received grants may reapply for different projects for consideration.
