More than $14,000 was awarded to 31 teachers through the Teacher Mini Grants with the Galesburg Community Foundation, explains Director of Grants and Programs Jillian Isaacson:
“This year we were able to award to all four districts that our Community Funds serve. In Knox County that is Knoxville and Williamsfield and then Warren County is United and Monmouth-Roseville. For United, there was a total of 16 teachers that received a grant for various purposes. With Monmouth-Roseville, we do those as co-grants between the Monmouth Community Fund and the Roseville Community Fund. United is also a co-granted Teacher Mini Grant cycle between the Alexis Community Fund, United 304 Foundation Fund, and the Becky Carlson Teacher Mini Grant Fund. So, between all five of those unique funds at the Galesburg Community Foundation, we are able to give Teacher Mini Grants to the two districts in Warren County.”
Teacher Mini Grants are awarded each spring through the Galesburg Community Foundation, with funds designated to be utilized during the next school year.
