ChemClub Community Activities Grant Application 2024-2025

Overview
 
The ChemClub Community Activities Grant supports chartered ChemClubs wishing to make a local impact through community interactions! This can be accomplished through service projects or improving science learning experiences. 

Examples of ideas from past grant recipients include:

  • Water quality testing in the local community, and sharing results with local leaders
  • Science Event(s) for a local Elementary/Middle School
  • Farmer's Market Science Activities Booth

Guidelines

There have been some exciting updates to the ChemClub Community Activities Grant process, so please be sure to read the guidelines carefully: 

  • The grant application is open from August 1 until November 1.
  • Applications will be reviewed and decided on a rolling basis — meaning ChemClub applicants will be informed very quickly about the status of their grant application.
  • This quick turnaround is aimed at allowing Clubs the ability to use grant funds quickly and/or plan events in the early part of the school year.
  • All grant funds will be distributed as Flinn Scientific Gift Certificates. Grant applications must explain how funds will be used.
  • Funding for your Club:
    • Earn up to $300 to support a community activity for your Club.  
    • Earn up to $400 to support a community activity for your Club if it specifically impacts elementary school students, and a continued relationship with the school can be established/proven.
    • Earn up to $500 if your Club is working together with a ACS Student Chapter, or ACS Local Section to support a community activity.
 
 
*Important note: We can only accept grant applications from the United States and its territories. Please visit the ACS International Activities for other opportunities.
