Pay It Forward Mini-Grant http://web.eenorthcarolina.org/resource/about.aspx?s=29648.0.0.37430
The Pay it Forward Foundation offers minigrants (from $50 to $500) to fund service-oriented projects designed by youth to support their school, neighborhood, or greater community. Projects must contain a “pay it forward” focus -- that is, they must be based on the concept of one person doing a favor for others, who in turn do favors for others, with the results growing exponentially -- to be eligible. Applications are invited from youth leaders, school staff, and youth-group representatives.
Applications will be scored based on:
- adherence to the Pay It Forward concept
- educational benefit to students / teachers
- integration of proposed project with school curriculum
- number of people impacted
Application deadlines are January 15, April 15 and October 15.

Adopt-A-Classroom Educational Grants
http://web.eenorthcarolina.org/resource/about.aspx?s=97216.0.0.37430
How it Works
1. Selecting a classroom
A donor selects a classroom and makes a contribution for the teacher to use and purchase resources for the classroom. Donors may search for classrooms by geography, school name, teacher name or other criteria. If a donor has no preference, Adopt-A-Classroom partners the donor with an underserved classroom in the community.
2. 100% of donation to the classroom
Adopt-A-Classroom directs 100% of all donations earmarked for classrooms to the classroom teacher in the form of online credit. Adopt-A-Classroom takes $0 for administration.
3. Ordering classroom resources
The teacher uses the credit to shop online from a network of affiliate vendors that have partnered with Adopt-A-Classroom. The teacher has full discretion to purchase resources that meet student needs and increase opportunity for classroom success. If the teacher is unable to meet classroom needs with the affiliate vendors, Adopt-A-Classroom will work with the teacher on a one-to-one basis.
