Funds Available to Aid in Teaching Students about Agriculture through
Social Studies and Literacy
The Iowa
Agriculture Literacy Foundation in partnership with the Iowa Farm Bureau
Federation is offering grants up to $200 to support the integration of
agriculture into regular classroom instruction or after school programs. Agriculture in the Classroom Teacher
Supplement Grants are designed to initiate new projects or expand existing
projects that promote agriculture literacy. Grants can be used to fund innovative lessons, activities, classroom
resources, guest speakers, outreach programs, field-trips and other
projects.
The 2015 grant program focuses on Social Studies and Literacy and will
only fund projects relating to these curriculum areas. The focus of the grant changes each year, to
allow a variety of projects to receive funding.
Grant applications must be submitted electronically by January 9, 2015. The online application is available at: http://www.iowaagliteracy.org/news/teacher-supplement-grant.html
