The Foundation for New Education Initiatives, Inc. (FNEI) is a direct-support organization of Miami-Dade County Public Schools. FNEI is sponsoring the 2024-2025 Mini-Grant Competition for Schools, which aligns with its mission to support and enhance innovative and creative educational activities that lead to student achievement. This grant program is designed to fund special projects and educational tools, continuing a legacy of over $300,000 awarded to classroom projects since the competition's inception. The target beneficiaries for this mini-grant competition are all pre-K through grade 12 schools, including alternative schools, primary learning centers, and specialized centers within Miami-Dade County, Florida. The primary impact goal is to promote and enhance innovative and/or creative educational activities which lead to student academic achievement. The program seeks to empower educators to implement projects that directly benefit students and improve learning outcomes. The program prioritizes special projects and educational tools that foster innovation and creativity in the classroom. Focus areas include initiatives that can be implemented through individual classroom activities, school-wide programs, or District initiatives. This also extends to before- or after-school enrichment programs, broadening the scope of impact for student populations. Funds can be used for a variety of educational needs, such as materials, equipment, field trips, entrance fees, bus rentals, and general supplies. Expected outcomes include improved student academic achievement through engaging and innovative educational experiences. While specific measurable results are not explicitly detailed beyond "student achievement," the program's structure implies a focus on the successful implementation of funded projects and their direct positive influence on students. The strategic priority of FNEI, as demonstrated by this competition, is to support educators in developing and delivering high-quality, impactful learning opportunities, thereby contributing to a theory of change where innovative educational funding directly correlates with enhanced student performance and engagement.
