Mountain America Offers Grants to Educators

For many educators, the 2020-2021 school year presents unique challenges. Dedicated teachers are reexamining their lesson plans, tools, and teaching methodologies to ensure they are making an impact on their students—whether they are virtual, hybrid, or in-person but distanced.

Mountain America Credit Union wants to help teachers make that impact.

Over the past four years, the Mountain America Education Grants have assisted 40 teachers in purchasing necessary items that enrich the minds and lives of students. Maybe the library needs two new sets of Dav Pilkey books, or the computer lab needs new graphic design software—either way, we are giving ten grants of up to $1,500 to teachers and school leaders who are Mountain America members.

Grants are specifically-designated for items or projects that have a long-standing impact and that support classroom learning (as opposed to school-related clubs or activities). Online applications are due by October 9, 2020, and winners will be announced by October 31, 2020.
