About this program

The Maine Community Foundation offers the Leonard and Renee Minsky Fund for Arts Education, providing grants of up to $1,000 to support professional artists collaborating with teachers to integrate arts into grades 3-5 classrooms in Penobscot and Washington counties. The program aims to enhance arts education in alignment with Maine Learning Results standards, prioritizing collaborative proposals across grades and smaller schools. Eligibility is limited to professional artists working with teachers in the specified public schools, with at least 75% of funds allocated to artists' fees and expenditures required within the current academic year unless extended. Applicants must meet the Maine Community Foundation's grant eligibility requirements and submit proposals by the December 15, 2024 deadline.
