Opportunity Overview
The Sunnyside Foundation Excellence in Education Mini-Grant program supports Sunnyside Unified School District educators with classroom projects and supplies designed to help students thrive. The Foundation identifies fine arts, music, literacy, STEM, and overall student health and wellness among the program’s supported areas.
Funding and Deadline
Educators may request up to $1,000 per project. The Foundation states that 2026-2027 applications are open and close September 30, 2026. The current official public page does not publish a closing time or time zone, so Atlas does not infer one.
Eligibility and Geography
The program is for educators in the Sunnyside Unified School District in Tucson, Arizona. The Foundation describes the grants as supporting educator-led projects and supplies that expand student learning, engagement, and wellness.
Eligible Project Examples
The Foundation lists examples including field trips, college tours, AP test fees, instruments, science kits, and yoga mats. These examples illustrate previously contemplated uses and should not be treated as a guarantee that every similar cost will be approved. Applicants should follow the current application form for project-specific requirements.
Submission and Match
Applications are submitted through the online application linked from the Foundation’s official program page. The public program page does not state a mandatory match or cost-share requirement. Applicants should review the live application before submission for any current forms, certifications, budget details, or other required information.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 58/100. This is a verified Arizona education and student-wellness microgrant, but its narrow educator-only applicant class and $1,000 award ceiling materially limit strategic healthcare-vendor relevance.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. QC Healthcare Fit: 0/100. Dr. Miltie direct-applicant/vendor fit: 0/100. The verified program does not establish a defensible role for the Nonagon N9+ device and platform or QC Healthcare, and Atlas does not force fit. This opportunity is appropriate for publication and tracking rather than applicant outreach.
Next Action
Eligible Sunnyside Unified School District educators should review the Foundation’s live application, confirm project-specific requirements and allowable costs, and submit by September 30, 2026.
