Mini-grants
Mini-grants are available for you to secure funding for your or your team's passion project!
The project must meet two criteria to be considered:
The innovation of a product
The product must be centered around solving a community problem
Some examples might be:
A sensor to measure air quality in your community
A new dog toy you designed for the animal shelter
A robot to clear snow for the elderly
Apply for up to $300 grant for materials and supplies!
The Mini-grant process is broken down into 5 steps seen below. Steps 1-3 focus on how to write and submit your Mini-grant, Step 4 focuses on working on your project, and Step 5 focuses on how to share your project and complete your required deliverables.
