COOK COUNTY FARM BUREAU® FOUNDATION AGRICULTURE IN THE CLASSROOM is excited to announce our

Mini Grant Spring 2021

Grant is open to educators in Grades K-12 including public, private or homeschool classrooms located in Cook County, IL.

We are leaving the topic to you to design a lesson, laboratory, or take-home learning kit to enable your students to research a topic related to agriculture. Options can include Culinary Kits (for cooking labs), School Garden Kits (grow a lesson at home), or even a project your students design (i.e., food safety, soil testing, food labeling, product packaging or nutrition). Maximum grant amount $500.
