ESL Mini-Grants

The WAESOL Socio-Political Concerns Committee (SPICY) is happy to announce that five mini-grants of up to $200 are now available to help fund activities for ESL/Bilingual activities throughout the year 2008.

As long as funds are available, we will continue to fund ESL/Bilingual Education Awareness activities throughout the entire year to provide more opportunities for participation. We hope this year's theme (to be announced soon) and the expanded timeframe will allow more organizations and activities to promote the community of English language learners (ELLs).

If you are interested in coordinating an ESL/Bilingual Education Awareness event/activity and feel that you could put the money to good use, please review the following requirements and submit an application.

Requirements

1. The event promotes understanding of ESL/Bilingual education among the general public.

2. The event reflects the theme.

3. The recipient agrees to submit a 1-2 page report on the event (with photos if possible) that will be published in the WAESOL newsletter.

Application Guidelines

1. Briefly describe your planned event/activity as it relates to the goals and theme of the month.

2. State the amount of money you are requesting and how you intend to use it.

3. Comment on your financial need and any other relevant information about your organization.

Note: The number of grants available is limited. If the number of applicants exceeds the number of grants available, priority will be given to organizations with the greatest financial need.
