Micro Grants
Micro Grants have been filled through the end of the school year. Check back in July for the Fall 2025 cycle to begin. Thank you teachers!
Micro Grants are available to fund a classroom need up to $1,000. This is open to any campus staff who are directly impacting education. This is a monthly opportunity from August-April.
Some Micro Grant examples include:
-
Classroom supplies and equipment
-
Food for instructional purposes
-
Books for classroom libraries
-
Magazine subscriptions
-
Online subscriptions for educational learning sites
-
Other innovative ideas will be considered
Please note: Micro Grants cannot be requested for student incentives. MISD teachers may apply once per semester (Fall and Spring.) If you are a club sponsor seeking grant support, please apply for a Grant for Great Idea.
Steps to apply for a Micro Grant:
-
Please create an account using our new grant application on the Smarter Select platform:
-
There are a limited number of Micro Grants each month. Once we have reached capacity, you will be in the queue for an upcoming month to make a pitch presentation.
-
Note: part of the application requires approval from your campus principal. They must complete the recommendation for your application to be complete.
-
Upon successful completion of the application, teachers may be invited to pitch their idea to the Grants Committee of the Education Foundation. We will contact you with an exact time and location.
Thank you to our Micro Grant sponsors! Your support of local MISD classroom teachers makes this grant possible!
