Overview

The Ashland County Community Foundation offers Teacher Mini-Grants to K-12 educators in accredited public and private schools within Ashland County. These grants empower teachers to implement innovative projects that are typically outside the constraints of school budgets, fostering creativity and enhancing educational experiences. Established in 1995, the foundation has successfully supported numerous initiatives, contributing over $35 million back to the local community through various funding efforts.

Ashland County Community Foundation didn’t begin, as many community foundations do, with a large gift from a single wealthy donor.
Their goal was to encourage Ashland County residents to invest their charitable gifts in the future of Ashland County.
Since then, ACCF has become a trusted philanthropic partner for thousands of families and individuals who want to invest in the future of Ashland County through endowment.
ACCF now has over 700 endowment funds under administration. More than $35 million has been given back to the Ashland County community in the form of grants, scholarships and individual fund distributions.
Teacher Mini-Grants allow K-12 teachers to pursue innovative ideas outside the scope of school budgets.

Eligibility
