PREVIEW BUILD v1.0 — new UI direction for mhedfoundation.org/projects. Dates shown are the LAST published cycle (Aug 1–31, 2024) — the live page never updated for a later year; this build makes the window a prominent, easy-to-update block instead of buried body text.

How it works

From application to funded classroom

01

Submit your application

A short form plus any supporting materials — during the open window above.

02

Grant Advisory Committee review

Every application is scored against the same published rubric — no exceptions.

03

Finalist validation

Top-scoring applications move to a validation step, which may include a site visit.

04

Board decision & notification

The Board of Directors makes the final call. All applicants hear back either way.

05

Funds released

Awarded funds must be spent within the current school year, with a short report on how they were used.

Before you apply

Please don't personally lobby the Foundation Board or Grant Advisory Committee about an application — it may result in disqualification. Every application is reviewed on the same published criteria.
