Overview

The Chrysalis Fund, managed by the Entomological Society of America, supports K-12 educators in fostering youth interest in insect science. Grants can cover various project expenses, including supplies and travel costs. Funding levels include micro-grants (under $500), regular grants ($500-$999), and large grants ($1,000-$2,500). This initiative encourages innovative educational programs that engage students with entomology, enhancing their learning experience and promoting science education.

Getting young people into science by getting insects into the classroom
The Entomological Society of America fosters the future of entomology through grants for programs that teach kids about insect science. The Chrysalis Fund, managed by ESA’s Education and Outreach Committee, is supported by donors dedicated to the mission of enhancing insect education for K-12 students. Teachers and educators with creative ideas for insect-themed programs or projects are encouraged to apply for funding.
Chrysalis Funds may be used to offset any expenses that are directly related to completing your project. Past Chrysalis Fund projects have used their awards in a variety of ways including:

Purchase of physical supplies such as nets, insect boxes, and insects
Securing services such as poster printing and software licenses
To offset the costs of travel such as mileage reimbursements for guest speakers
To compensate teachers, assistants, or guest experts for time spent on the project
Funding
The amount of funding available in any year is set by the ESA Education and Outreach Committee and dependent on existing funds.
