Innovative educational programs are funded every year through BCEF mini-grants. This program funds those educational projects that often get cut from tight school budgets. Mini-grants support reading and math programs, equip classrooms with maps and globes and inspire students from kindergarten through high school.

Funding Limitations
- Grants will be approved for educational projects only.
- Principals have been provided the maximum allocation for this academic year. The entirety of these funds may be used during this academic year or all or part of the funding may be carried to the next year.
- The full amount may be requested for one project or several smaller grants may be submitted for a number of smaller projects.
- Any funds not used for the approved project must be returned to the Blount County Education Foundation.
- A final report must be submitted by the end of the following academic year detailing use of the funds as well as a statement from the applicant regarding the impact the grant made on a student or group of students. The BCEF will provide a form for this report.
- The BCEF may request further information the following year if the project was anticipated to impact TCAP scores.
- Although the following items are important to individual schools, at this time they will not be considered for grant funding: landscaping, playground equipment, facility maintenance, travel, lodging, speaker fees, contributions and donations.
- Mini-grant monies may be used to purchase materials and supplies necessary for the successful completion of an approved mini-grant project. However, our intent is not to solely fund materials and supplies without an effective or innovative educational project with measurable results.
Application Process
- Submit the application form, a project budget, and any supporting documents to your school principal.
- Your principal will determine whether the application will be submitted to the BCEF for consideration.
- A grant application may be submitted by the principal at any point during the academic year for consideration. Please keep a copy for your files.
- The BCEF liaison to your school will clarify any outstanding questions and assist the Grant Review Committee in determining whether funding will be provided for the project.
- You will be notified by letter regarding the status of your request. If funded, the check will be sent to your principal along with a letter specifying the purpose of the funding.
