Remote Connection Mini-Grants - FAQs

FAQS

How Much is the Mini-Grant, and Who Can Apply?
Mini-Grant amounts will be based on NET membership category:

$250 for Individual and Student members;
$500 for Ensemble and Affiliate members.

Current NET members in good standing are eligible to apply, including those who received NET/TEN Spring 2020 Mini-Grants. Eligible applicants:

• may be an individual, LLC, corporation, or 501c3;
• must be able to receive funds in the United States.

Will this application impact my ability to apply for future grants through NET/TEN?

No, receiving a Winter 2020/21 Mini-Grant will not make you ineligible to apply for additional NET/TEN funding in 2021 or beyond.

What Activities and Expenses are Eligible?

• cost of video conferencing services, postage/delivery fees, or other communication tools/materials used to support the activities;
• and documentation or reflection that results from the funded engagement, learning, and/or exploration.
