Resources: Community Learning Fund Grants
Community Learning Fund GrantsGrant Proposal Application
These Community Learning Fund Grants, funded through the generosity of the Star Tribune, are intended to help defray the costs associated with field trips for the core curriculum of Minneapolis Public Schools students in grades K–12. The proposal review process will be ongoing throughout the school year until the available funds are expended. The grant process is competitive; proposals will be reviewed and awards made based on the merits of the proposals and funds available. Grant funds (not to exceed $200 per application) are to be expended during the current school year.
Guidelines
- A teacher may receive only ONE Community Learning Fund grant
per school year.
- Community Learning Fund Grants (not to exceed $200 per application)
are intended to defray some of the expenses involved in a field
trip experience for MPS students enhancing their core curriculum
studies in grades K–12. The funds may be used to provide
transportation or reduce the admission cost for students to
partake in community resources that enhance their quality learning
experiences.
- A team of teachers may submit a joint request if no member
of the team has received a Community Learning Fund grant during
the current school year and if the grant request is proportional
to the number of students/total cost of the field trip.

Grants will be awarded in the form of a check payable to the school. The school is then responsible for paying the costs associated with the field trip. A brief report on the expenditure of the funds as well as the impact of the field trip experience is required of all recipients within two weeks of the field trip.
