Opportunity Overview
Donors Choose Teacher Mini Grants is a rolling classroom-project funding opportunity administered by Coastal Community Foundation of South Carolina. The program supports teacher-initiated classroom projects and is funded through proposals posted on DonorsChoose.
Funding and Deadline
The official program page lists the average award as varying widely and the deadline as rolling. Teachers are encouraged to submit a DonorsChoose proposal by August 1 for fall-semester review. If there are insufficient eligible proposals in a geographic area, the committee may continue reviewing eligible proposals throughout the year until available grant funds are expended. No fixed maximum award, total funding pool, required match, or cost-share percentage is stated on the official program page.
Eligibility
All teachers in schools located in Beaufort, Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton, Dorchester, Georgetown, Hampton, Horry and Jasper counties are eligible. In Allendale and Barnwell counties, eligibility is limited to high school teachers.
Submission Mechanics
Applicants submit classroom-project proposals through DonorsChoose.org. Coastal Community Foundation states that a committee of community members reviews proposals and recommends grant recipients. Applicants should verify current DonorsChoose submission requirements and project rules before posting.
