Instructions:

The Links to Learning program of the Assistance League of Minneapolis/St. Paul funds grants to educators for programs that enrich education, improve student achievement, encourage parent/community involvement, and address diversity, equity and inclusion. Below is additional information that will help you write a proposal that meets the criteria for funding. Please take the time to read these instructions.

This year we are offering a group application as well as individual applications.

Up to $1,000 in grant funding is available per applicant. Applicants may apply for less but no more than $1,000 will be awarded to any one applicant.

Several teachers may apply as a group for the same project within the same school. The limit is $1,000 per applicant and up to $5,000 for a group. For example, 5 teachers can submit a proposal as a group for the same project with the total up to $5,000 for that project or 3 teachers can apply for a group grant up to $3,000.

Each applicant or group may only apply for one grant per year. Applicants can apply for a grant every year.

Grant applications are due September 30, 2025. Notifications of funding will be sent out by the end of November 2025.

AGREEMENT
Consent*
If funded, I agree to the following:

All funds received will be used for the purpose stated on the application form for the Links to Learning program. Any cost over the amount awarded will be the responsibility of the recipient.

All programs must be carried out and completed during the current school year.

Checks will be sent to the recipient's school liaison.

Award checks must be cashed within 90 days of the date printed. Checks not cashed within the 90 days will become void and will not be reissued.

The recipient agrees to complete and submit the Assistance League Links to Learning Financial Report (https://www.assistanceleague.org/minneapolis-st-paul/links-to-learning-financial-report-form/ ), along with legible scanned copies of all receipts, at completion of the project and no later than April 30th. Persons not submitting final reports will not be considered for future awards.

The recipient agrees to provide a grant program evaluation when requested by Assistance League.

Should the recipient be unable to implement or complete an awarded project, the School Administrator may designate personnel to implement and/or complete the project. The Assistance League requires that the Links to Learning Program Chairperson (linkstolearning@assistanceleaguemsp.org) be notified of this change as soon as possible.
