H20 For Life Mini Grant

H2O for Life, a nonprofit organization dedicated to global water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) education, offers a Mini-Grant program to support service-learning projects led by K–12 students and educators. This funding opportunity aligns with the organization's mission to inspire youth to become global citizens while taking action to address the global water crisis. The Mini-Grant is designed to remove financial barriers for schools and classrooms interested in participating in H2O for Life projects. The grant provides up to $500 in funding to help launch student-led service-learning initiatives that align with H2O for Life's programming. The funds may be used to support activities such as educational materials, project supplies, and events that build awareness and support for global WASH projects. Funds are disbursed in the form of checks and are intended to assist with project startup costs. Students applying must have a teacher sponsor who can receive the check on behalf of the school or classroom. Eligibility is limited to students and educators participating in H2O for Life programming. Student applicants must be affiliated with a school and have a teacher sponsor. The grant is open to schools nationwide in the United States. Specific nonprofit status or legal designations are not mentioned, but the focus is clearly on educational institutions and student-led initiatives. To apply, applicants must complete an online form provided by H2O for Life. The process requires submission of basic information about the school, teacher sponsor, and project description. No complex multi-stage application or pre-application requirements are indicated. The application deadline for the current cycle is October 17, 2025. Applications must be submitted by this date for consideration in the current funding round. There is no mention of recurring deadlines, so it is unclear whether this opportunity is offered on a regular basis. Contact information is not explicitly provided, and there is no formal evaluation rubric or timeline for award notifications or performance periods listed. A flyer hosted on the H2O for Life website offers a brief overview of the program, emphasizing its supportive nature for students eager to participate in service-learning.

Ensure you have a teacher sponsor ready to accept the grant check; emphasize how your project supports H2O for Life’s mission.
