Mini-Grants
The Pflugerville Education Foundation (PEF) is offering all PfISD teachers the opportunity to apply for Mini-Grants. The purpose of this grants is to enhance, promote and augment classroom instruction in areas not routinely allocated in regular budgetary funds or not eligible for reimbursement from other sources. Mini-Grants are not available for personnel cost, technology or travel expenses. Over the months of September, October, and November, a total of $8,000 will be awarded each month that support individual grants up to $2,000.

Grants will be selected based on the following criteria: The degree to which the grant aligns with a PEF priority area; addresses an area of need substantiated by data; emphasizes or enhances student academic performance or social emotional intelligence; creates value through annual reuse; promotes the sharing of lessons learned with other educators; addresses the degree to which campus and district funding sources have been exhausted. Just a reminder the grants cannot fund electronics.

The Mini-Grant Application is online on our NEW platform.
