Teacher Mini Grants

Taos Community Foundation is proud to support local teachers and educators. We appreciate your hard work in making this community thrive! This year, teacher mini grants are open to all educators in Taos county and western Colfax county. We’ve also streamlined the application process,  making it easier to submit your grant proposal. Any school personnel who work directly with students – teachers, counselors, librarians, etc, may apply for grants up to $200.00.

This supplemental grant is intended for educational projects, and does not fund operational or capital expenses. Proposals for capital expenses
will not be considered.

Grants will be awarded in early November 2024.
