Any MCCSC employee or student may apply for grants from the Foundation. However, Professional Development grants must by presented by an administrator. Applications and guidelines are available on this website for all of the Foundation’s grant programs. For more information, contact Tina Peterson at tpeterso@mccsc.edu.

Despite these funding opportunities, many educators will still find it necessary to either fund learning materials through out of pocket spending or forgo opportunities for their students.  To provide teachers and other front-line educators with another option, the Foundation is partnering with DonorsChoose, a web-based program that provides a simple way to fulfill needs in the classroom and to foster innovation in our public schools. Teachers post projects online and donors choose what they’d like to fund. To find out more about DonorsChoose, click here
