The Resource Grants program pays for related resources within a single, innovative project, such as:

• Hosting a leadership gathering or educational workshop
• New educational models
• Institutional assessment
• Marketing and recruitment efforts
• Engaging a consultant
• Innovative technological advancement 
• Other resources as determined by the In Trust Center

A grant may fund more than one resource, but those resources must be thematically related and support the same project.

Grant funds cannot be used for:

• Salaries or hourly wages for staff or students
• Hosting events targeted to the general public (unrelated to mission)
• Preexisting or current projects
• Annually recurring projects or expenses
• Mission trips
• Facilities purchase, sale, construction or repair
• Indirect costs such as overhead
• Equipment not tied to innovative work
• Other resources as determined by the In Trust Center

Resource Grants are dollar-for-dollar matching grants of up to $15,000.

You submit an online application by April 12, 2022.

The Resource Grant committee will review your application and notify you about final funding decisions by mid-July, 2022.

If your application is approved, you will receive a grant agreement for signing and funds will be released to your school in August 2022.

A school's match must be in dollars and can be funded by operating funds, donors, or other grants. However, in-kind contributions such as materials or volunteer labor cannot count as part of the match. 

Grant recipients must complete both a mid-year progress report and a final report of their project. We do not routinely require a school to provide receipts of grant eligible expenses; however, the In Trust Center may request verification for all or a portion of the grant’s eligible expenses. The In Trust Center reserves the right to use content submitted for reporting purposes.
