The Mini-Grant Program was established to provide teachers, advisors and coaches with much needed funds to pursue projects that may be beyond their current budget.

The Board will select grant recipients based on an application process. Applications are considered with reference to the Foundation's objective to support academic and athletic programs for under-resourced children. The CFM Foundation will award a grant of up to five hundred dollars per request.

Mini-Grants are considered on a monthly basis by a sub-committee of the Foundation Board and are subject to full Board approval.
