The Lancaster-Lebanon Education Foundation (LLEF) awards mini-grants to various programs to provide extra support for special projects within Lancaster-Lebanon IU13. Employees of IU13 may apply for the mini-grants which run from November thru May each year.

Applications are distributed through program supervisors in May of each year and applications are due in October. If you have an innovative idea to benefit the students with whom you work, consider applying for up to $750.00 of funding from LLEF to jumpstart your plans. In 2022-23, LLEF awarded nine mini-grants; the topics were varied as were the programs served.

“Thank you so much for providing a wonderful opportunity for our students to benefit from the mini-grant funds. Our students have come so far with not only the goals outlined in the mini-grant application but other positive skills, including increased overall confidence.” 

This project made for FANTASTIC student outcomes this school year!!! I am so excited to continue to utilize the materials purchased through this grant for years to come!!!

THANK YOU again for all of your support. This is my first time receiving a grant and it has been absolutely fantastic to be able to provide engaging, diverse, and appropriate materials for my students to maximize small group instruction in speech therapy. My students have been having so much fun with all of the new engaging materials!!

The 2023-24 Mini-Grant application form will be available in May 2023!
