2026 - 2027 LTSF mini Grants

Have a classroom need, an instructional idea, or a meaningful learning opportunity that could benefit from a little extra support?

LTSF mini Grants provide fast, flexible funding to help Lawrence Township educators bring meaningful learning opportunities directly to students. Sometimes a small investment can create a lasting impact.

2026–2027 applications open August 4, 2026, and will be accepted on a rolling basis until all available funds have been awarded.

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.

LTSF Announces First Round of 2026–2027 mini Grant Recipients

The Lawrence Township School Foundation is excited to announce the first recipients of 2026–2027 LTSF mini Grants, awarding $7,764.79 to 13 educators across seven Lawrence Township schools. 

This year, LTSF transitioned the mini Grant program to a year-round application process, giving educators more opportunities to request funding as needs and ideas arise throughout the school year. Applications are reviewed monthly by the LTSF Board of Directors Program Committee and evaluated using a grant-scoring rubric.

LTSF mini Grants provide educators with funding to bring ideas to life that enhance learning, create new opportunities, and respond directly to the needs of their students.

We are grateful for the donors and community partners whose generosity makes these investments in Lawrence Township educators and students possible.

Congratulations to our grant recipients—we can’t wait to see your ideas come to life!

Together, we’re Powering the Potential of Lawrence Township Students!
