Classroom Grants available

The Clinton County Farm Bureau Foundation is again offering teachers in Clinton County grants up to $350 for activities relating to agriculture.

These grants can be used to fund any project promoting agriculture awareness. Project funds can be requested for field trips, resources, supplies, books, special projects, etc.…, as long as the applicant can relate their activity back to agriculture.

Projects should focus on integrating agriculture into a variety of curriculum area. Teachers are encouraged to be creative in developing a valuable agricultural experience for students. Applications outlining the project, goals, objectives, and desired outcomes must be received at the Clinton County Farm Bureau office by Oct. 31.

Teacher grant recipients will be notified by the end of November, or soon thereafter.  Final grant amounts will be determined by the Clinton CFB Foundation Board of Directors, but will not exceed $350.  All monies must be spent by the end of the current school year.

Grant recipients will receive an agreement to be signed and returned if funding is awarded.  A final report will also be due to the Clinton CFB Foundation by May 31, 2022 (final report link will be emailed to grant recipients).

Any questions can be directed to Clinton County Farm Bureau Manager Brad Conant or Ag in the Classroom Coordinator Susan Kleiboeker at (618) 526-7235.
