Program At A Glance

Small Grants. Big Impact.

The program is designed to provide quick, approachable support for immediate classroom needs, instructional materials, and student-enrichment opportunities.

Funding is limited. Applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as an eligible need or opportunity is identified.

Is a mini Grant right for my request?

A mini Grant may be the right opportunity when your request:

• Directly benefits Lawrence Township students
• Has a clear instructional or educational purpose
• Requires between $100 and $750
• Can be implemented relatively quickly
• Addresses a classroom-level or immediate student-learning need
• Includes a clear and complete budget
• Has been reviewed and approved by your principal

The LTSF Board of Directors - Program Committee will consider whether the request demonstrates direct student impact, a clear educational purpose, reasonable cost, and appropriate use of Foundation funding.

Consider a Creative Impact Grant instead when:

• Your request is between $750 and $5,000
• The project is larger in scale
• The proposal introduces a new or transformational educational program
• The project requires extensive planning, evaluation, collaboration, or implementation
• The idea may benefit an entire grade level, school, or broader student population

mini Grants are fast, flexible, and immediate. Creative Impact Grants support larger, strategic, and transformational ideas.
