Description
The YCF Educator Mini-Grant Program is run by Your Community Foundation of North Central West Virginia to enhance students’ learning experiences. It supports special projects, materials, and classroom resources that are not covered by school or central office sources or other means. The program serves PK–12 educators in traditional public schools across Harrison, Marion, Monongalia, Preston, and Taylor Counties.
Support is directed toward student learning during the regular school day, rather than extracurricular activities. Eligible educators include teachers in any subject area, counselors, librarians, and nurses. Grants support work that has not already been completed and materials that have not already been purchased. Awards are made directly to schools, with principal approval required as part of the application process.
