Every year, Cape Cod 5 provides thousands of dollars in mini-grants to fund educational projects to public school teachers in the communities we serve. Since its inception in 2000, more than 1,800 mini-grants, totaling over $780,000, have been awarded.
Educational Mini-Grants are grants for amounts up to $500 given to local public school teachers to fund educational projects. Last year, grants were awarded to teachers at 82 schools in our communities.
Criteria
Teachers throughout Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket and Plymouth County who are employed as a classroom instructor at any public school are eligible to apply.
Traditionally, we have prioritized imaginative projects that foster creative thinking and have broad impact. We understand that the past few years have posed unique challenges in education and will be using more flexible criteria in considering applications. However the top five most creative projects (as identified by our review committee) will receive $1,000!
Application Process
Applications for the current school year are no longer being accepted as of November 1, 2024. Applications for the 2025-2026 school year will open in September 2025.
Selection Process
All applicants will be notified of a decision by the end of November, 2024. Grants will be distributed in early December 2024 by a check made payable to the school and mailed to your principal's attention.
