Mini-Grants | National Girls Collaborative Project Mini-grants are awarded to girl-serving programs with a focus on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). They are granted to support collaboration, address gaps and overlaps in service, and share exemplary practices. Mini-grants are a small amount of seed funding and are not intended to fully fund entire projects.
The maximum mini-grant award is $1000. Numerous organizations provide valuable but uncoordinated activities and support services related to motivating and supporting girls’ interest in STEM careers. Mini-grants are designed to build collaboration between existing programs and organizations to encourage girls to pursue STEM-related educational programs and careers.
Preference is given to applications that are innovative and involve a collaboration between two programs or organizations that have not previously collaborated together. Mini-Grant Application Requirements At least two programs from different organizations must collaborate on the mini-grant project. Both your organization and your collaborating partner/s must be listed on the NGCP Program Map BEFORE applying .
The applicant must choose one of her/his programs to be the lead program. The lead program must be located in a collaborative state or region currently offering mini-grants. Preference is given to projects that are innovative and include a collaboration between organizations that has not occurred before.
Mini-grant projects must last longer than one day, unless the one-day project is part of a larger event (for example, a one-day STEM conference for middle school girls that is included within a week-long summer camp). None available at this time. Mini-Grant Application Resources: Exemplary Practices use strategies, curricula, and resources that have research and/or evaluation data to support their effectiveness.
