Grant Description
Grants of up to $300 to Michigan K-12 students in eligible locations for projects that benefit children and youth. Funding is intended to fund projects that meet the needs of local youth, improve the school and classroom environment, and encourage volunteerism. This grant program will also give local children and youth the opportunity to participate in the process of applying for and obtaining a grant. Eligible applicants must be students in Jackson County schools.

The intent of the mini-grants program is to introduce the concept of a community foundation and its work while supplying educational and funding opportunities. Grants are available for projects or programs that will benefit elementary and secondary age students in Jackson County schools in order to encourage youth volunteerism through these projects or programs, and to enhance the school/classroom environment through positive activities.

Proposals that are school or student oriented will be considered for funding. These include special classroom projects planned by students, or extracurricular activities such as student newspapers, special sports or music projects.
