We’ve tried to make it as easy as possible for you to apply for a MAD Grant. All you have to do is:
Come up with a MAD idea. What’s MAD? An idea that Makes A Difference in students’ lives. An idea that’s just plain mad – as in crazy. An idea that you know will add a little – or big – “something” to your students’ educations. Need a little guidance? Take the time to read through some of the past recipients’ ideas AND go over the answers to our frequently asked questions about what we do NOT usually fund.
Download the PDF application form. Save it, fill it in and email it back...OR...Download and print the form, fill it out and mail it back...OR...provide the information requested in some other format and send it to us. [WE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS UPLOADING THE APPLICATION. FOR NOW, PLEASE CUT AND PASTE THE INFORMATION REQUESTED AT THE END OF THESE STEPS INTO YOUR OWN DOCUMENT.]
Fill in the application (or send the information we’ve requested by some other form). We’ve made it brief so that you can get on with your business, but we do want you to show us that you’ve thought the idea through in terms of cost, procurement, time involved and benefits.
