Deadline: 1-Feb-22
The Community Foundation of Muncie & Delaware County, Inc. (CFMDIN) has launched its Robert P. Bell Education Grants Program to K-12 teachers, counselors, special needs teachers and itinerant teachers working in schools in Delaware County.
Teachers often have instructional ideas they would like to implement in their classrooms. Sometimes, a lack of funds can prevent them from moving forward. The Robert P. Bell Education Grants are awarded to teachers with innovative ideas, programs, or projects that are related to a classroom unit or lesson.
Funding Information
Grants are awarded from $50-$600. Recommendations for partial funding may be made.
Eligible & Ineligible Projects
- Creative and innovative projects can be focused in any subject area. While preference is given to projects implemented during the regular school day, extracurricular projects will be considered if they are curriculum-based. Requests must be clearly linked to a specific classroom unit or lesson.
- Bell Grants are not eligible for religious-based projects, transportation fees, field trip fees, and speaker fees. Grants will not be awarded for projects that are already started or completed. Typically, Bell Grants are not awarded to purchase book sets, videos, kits, and classroom equipment unless those items are integral to a classroom lesson.
Eligibility Criteria
- Kindergarten through 12th grade teachers and counselors working in Delaware County schools including special education teachers, itinerant teachers, and counselors are eligible to apply. Teachers must be working in accredited in public schools, nationally recognized accredited private schools, or charter schools in good standing to be eligible for grants.
- Small groups of teachers may submit one application for joint projects, but group applications are subject to the $600 limit.
