Cape Cod 5 Educational Mini-Grant Program, 2026–2027
Cape Cod 5 is accepting proposals from eligible public school classroom teachers for classroom projects, creative learning experiences, and educational resources that benefit students in local public schools. This is a grant benefiting schools, not a personal cash award or a vendor procurement contract.
Award amounts
Standard educational mini-grants provide up to $500 per project. The review committee will select five standout projects for $1,000 each. The $1,000 recognition is competitive and is not guaranteed to every applicant. Checks for approved awards are made payable to the recipient school.
Who can apply
Eligible applicants are classroom teachers employed at public schools on Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, or in Plymouth County, Massachusetts. Projects should engage students, encourage creativity or curiosity, address a classroom or student need, and benefit a classroom or larger group of learners.
