Mini grants (up to $100 each) are available each school year beginning August 1st. Certified Los Alamos Public Schools teachers may apply. The spirit of these grants is to fund materials and resources teachers need for their classrooms so that they don’t have to spend their own money.  Mini grants are a great opportunity for new teachers to be able to purchase items to get classrooms ready for the start of the school year too.  Teachers are eligible for one mini grant per school year.  There is no deadline to apply and mini grants will be available until the amount of funding budgeted by the Foundation is spent.
