LEAF has three categories of grants that we award to educators in Ledyard Public Schools.  The Teacher Mini-Grant is a grant up to $2,500 - this grant is more focused on individual classroom ideas.  The Growing Grant is a grant between $2,500 and $10,000 - this grant is ideally used for grade level or subject area teachers to apply for together. The Capital Grant is for an undetermined amount of money - this grant is generally determined between district administrators and the LEAF Board of Trustees - and can not be applied for by individual teachers. 

New to LEAF - Teacher Fund a Wish. We now have the ability to Crowdfund for your classroom wishes! Submit your wishes, then share your idea with family, friends, and community members for support!
