Description
Your Community Foundation of North Central West Virginia (YCF) offers Educator Mini-Grants to enhance students’ learning experiences through special projects, materials, and classroom resources. The program serves PK–12 educators in traditional public schools across Harrison, Marion, Monongalia, Preston, and Taylor Counties, West Virginia. It addresses educational needs that school or central-office funding and other sources do not cover.
Support is directed toward upcoming projects and purchases used during the regular school day. Projects must be able to proceed with the requested support rather than depend on unconfirmed funding for a larger initiative. Teachers of every subject, counselors, librarians, and nurses may apply, with their principal’s approval. YCF’s Grants Committee reviews requests, and funded educators submit a simple report on expenditures and project results.
