Educators at schools across Minnesota can now apply for the second and final round of mini-grants awarded by Understand Native Minnesota to support classroom learning about Native American culture, history and modern tribal governments.
The program, administered by the Minneapolis Foundation, builds on nearly $400,000 in funding that was awarded to 173 educators and schools earlier this year. $150,000 will be distributed this fall, with awards of up to $2,000 per educator.
The mini-grants can be used for classroom resources, materials and projects, professional development, or curriculum and resource development to support teaching about Native American culture, history and modern tribal governments. Educators in Minnesota K-12 public, charter, tribal and private schools are all eligible.
Since the first round of this grant program, the SMSC published A Guide to Reliable Native American-Related Teaching Resources. Prospective grant applicants may find this helpful.
Grant applications will be accepted through 6 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 26, 2024.
