Thank you for your interest in Cape Cod 5's Educational Mini-Grant Program. We are no longer accepting applications as of December 1, 2020.
Every year, Cape Cod 5 provides thousands of dollars in mini-grants to fund educational projects to public school teachers in the communities we serve. Since its inception in 2000, more than 1,000 mini-grants, totaling over $490,000, have been awarded.
Educational Mini-Grants are grants for amounts up to $500 given to local public school teachers to fund educational projects. Last year, 87 grants were awarded totaling approximately $40,000 to 106 teachers at 47 schools in our communities.
