As Back to School Time Approaches, Don’t Forget FOM’s Mini-Grant Program

The Board and staff of the Friends of Mascoma Foundation wishes all students, families, teachers, staff and administrators a positive start to the 2020-2021 school year. This year may look different, but we know our little community will rise to occasion for the year ahead.

We also want to remind teachers and staff that we are here to help! As staff assess their approach to the new year and their needs shift please consider applying to FOM’s Mini-Grant program! FOM Mini-Grants are modest awards that help educators make a positive difference in the learning experience of their students. Mini-grants support, encourage, and facilitate great teaching ideas that would not be possible within the existing school budget.

Any member of the Mascoma Valley Regional School District’s instructional or professional staff (i.e., teachers, counselors, librarians, paraprofessionals, or nurses) is eligible to apply for a mini-grant.  FOM organizes a Mini-Grant Committee that reviews and select recipients. 

Good news! Mini-Grants are now considered on a rolling basis. For full details on the program visit: http://friendsofmascoma.org/mini-grants.
