Micro Grants

The FUSD Foundation is excited to announce that we have a new way of providing funding to FUSD teachers for special projects and programs. We have a Micro Grant and STEAM Micro Grant program which provides up to $500 for one time projects.

The FUSD Foundation offers micro grants of up to $500, empowering teachers to implement special and innovative projects that enhance student outcomes but fall outside standard school budgets.

Once the complete application is submitted, the board reviews and votes on each application (on a monthly basis through the application period)

These are projects that include original, bold, and innovative ideas, enrich the standard curriculum, and explore new alternatives to traditional methods of learning.

Awards will be reviewed on the 4th Monday of each month during the open grant period. 

If you’re awarded a grant, you are required to complete and submit a final report

When you accept the grant money you also agree to the possibility of being interviewed, photographed or having video taken of your project or your program.

Are you ready to get started?

Debbi Grogan Memorial Fund

The Flagstaff Blues and Brews Festival initially launched this funding program for FUSD music teachers, and it has grown significantly since its inception. Now in its fourth year, the program is sustained through proceeds from the Flagstaff Oktoberfest.

In 2022, the program raised nearly $22,000 and distributed 100% of the funds to FUSD music teachers. The following year, in 2023, the program reached a new milestone, raising almost $34,000—all of which went directly to support our music educators. The 2024 Flagstaff Oktoberfest generated over $32,000, continuing this impactful tradition of supporting music teachers and their programs, and again we used all of the money for our FUSD Music Teachers. The 2025 Flagstaff Oktoberfest generated over $31,000 for this fund.

You can support this fund by attending the Annual Flagstaff Oktoberfest, held the first Saturday of October each year in Wheeler Park.

The Debbi Grogan Memorial Fund Grant program will open in October 2026.
