The 2025-2026 MC Foundation Innovation Fund has up to $40,000 for projects that advance student success and create a transformative educational environment that meets the evolving needs of its diverse student body and the broader community. The grant is made possible this year through the generosity of Montgomery College Foundation donors. The theme is "Innovating Access: Empowering Every Learner, Enriching Every Pathway".
This year’s theme encapsulates the College's commitment to:
· Equity and Inclusion: Eliminating barriers to education and ensuring all students have the opportunity to succeed.
· Student-Centered Innovation: Leveraging technology and innovative teaching methods to enhance the student experience.
· Community Engagement: Strengthening partnerships to support workforce development and lifelong learning.
Projects that have direct linkage to student success, social justice, equity and inclusion, advance student success, and extend the impact of our educational environment into the community are ideal initiatives for this grant. Grants that promote collaboration and cross-functional teams will be given greater consideration. We are looking for your best thinking and innovative strategies that will impact a broad range of students. Faculty, staff, administrators, and students are eligible to submit proposals. Students wishing to participate must partner with a faculty or staff member to submit an application.
