Foundation Mini-grants at MCC
Funding for Learning Equipment and Experiences!
Through the generosity of alumni donors, MCC employees, and community partners, the Middlesex Fund is able to support mini-grants for faculty and staff initiatives that directly benefit our students.
The MCC Foundation Mini-grant application will open on Tuesday, September 2nd!
Get your ideas together now; requests will be accepted from Tuesday, September 2nd,
through Friday, October 3rd.
We encourage and invite you to submit your grant ideas and projects that may not necessarily
be funded through your operating budget. Many of you presented ideas and innovations
in the past that have gone on to help our students further achieve their academic
and life goals. We hope you will submit your ideas!
Please note the following important information about the process:
- All MCC faculty and staff are eligible to apply.
- Grant application requests should generally not exceed $5,000.
- Grants will be made for a maximum project length of one year.
- Funds should be spent within the academic year for which the grant was awarded.
- A detailed budget must be included as part of the application.
- All applications must be approved by the applicant’s department chair and/or the division Dean or Vice President before submittal.
