We are thrilled to announce that our Micro Grant Program is officially open for the 2026-2027 school year. The last day to apply is April 1, 2027 at midnight.
Micro Grants are available to fund a classroom need up to $1,000. This is open to any campus staff who are directly impacting education. This is a monthly opportunity from August-April.
Some Micro Grant examples include:
- Classroom supplies and equipment
- Food for instructional purposes
- Books for classroom libraries
- Magazine subscriptions
- Online subscriptions for educational learning sites
- Other innovative ideas will be considered
Please note: Micro Grants cannot be requested for student incentives. MISD teachers may apply once per semester (Fall and Spring.) If you are a club sponsor seeking grant support, please apply for a Grant for Great Idea.
Steps to apply for a Micro Grant:
- Please create an account using our grant application on the Smarter Select platform: Micro Grant application
- "Continue with Google" will not work to sign into the grant portal. You need to create an account or use the Forgot Password option.
- There are a limited number of Micro Grants each month. Once we have reached capacity, you will be in the queue for an upcoming month to make a pitch presentation.
- Note: part of the application requires approval from your campus principal. They must complete the recommendation for your application to be complete.
- Upon successful completion of the application, teachers may be invited to pitch their idea to the Grants Committee of the Education Foundation. We will contact you with an exact time and location.
