The 21st Century Education Grants, offered by the Four County Community Foundation (4CCF), are designed to empower classroom teachers to implement creative, engaging, and enriching educational activities that extend beyond the standard curriculum. These grants support both classroom-based and field-based projects, including experiential learning opportunities, that may not be fully funded by regular school budgets. The program encourages projects in any subject area, provided they align with curriculum goals and the Foundation’s guidelines. Teachers from specific districts—Almont, Armada, Capac, Dryden, Imlay City, and Romeo—have access to dedicated school funds, though educators from other schools within the 4CCF service area are also eligible to apply.
