JoAnn Fabrics and Crafts Kids in Need Grants

Purpose: The Kids In Need Foundation and JoAnn Fabrics are calling on educators to submit original project ideas that need funding. To be eligible, the project must "make creative use of common teaching aids, approach curriculum from an imaginative angle, or tie nontraditional concepts together for the purpose of illustrating commonalities." The projects must have the potential to be replicated and be innovative; innovation and merit account for 40 percent of the judging criteria. Examples of past winning projects are available online.

Eligibility: PreK – 12 certified teachers teaching in the subject of the project at public, private, charter, or parochial schools in all 50 states and the District of Columbia in the U.S.  Kids In Need currently DOES NOT fund home school projects.

Amount available per project: Winners receive grants between $100 and $500.

Deadline for Applications to Funding Agency: September 30, 2015

District Guidelines: An Intent to Submit form must be completed and sent to the Office of Community Development before applying for any grant for Humble ISD. Please contact Adrianne Holmes at the Office of Community Development at 281-641-8141 for more information.
