The Foundation of the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC) invites individuals and organizations, teaching or supporting mathematics taught in the first two years of college, to submit proposals for funding. Proposals will be accepted throughout the year if funds are available. Preference will be given to applicants who are members of AMATYC.
Among the AMATYC Foundation's initiatives, the COVID Mini-Grants are a notable example of faculty support. These grants provided timely assistance during the pandemic, helping faculty address immediate needs and build resilience within the academic community.

AMATYC Foundation Grant Opportunities
Proposals for projects shall be routed to the Foundation Chair through this form.
All proposals shall include the following information:
- Title
- Summary of the proposed project (two- or three-sentence summary including the amount of funding requested)
- Qualifications (including the name of the person or organization making the proposal, contact information, and vitae of the principal investigator)
- Need Statement (stating the specific problem area to be addressed or studied)
- Goals and Objectives (describing the outcomes of the project and what the person or organization expects to accomplish)
- Methods, Strategies or Program Design (describing the activities to be conducted, such as how technology will be used, and the rationale behind the choice of activity)
- Evaluation Plan (outlining how the results of the project will be evaluated and including the measures to determine the extent to which the objectives are met)
- Other Funding or Sustainability (including other funding sources or resources needed to implement the grant or to continue the activity beyond the funding of the project)
- Timeline: Details on the start of project, expected completion dates, evaluation timeline, and dissemination timeline.
- Budget (delineating the costs needed to meet the objectives of the project, submitted in columnar form not a narrative)
The amount of detail included in a proposal should correspond to the amount of the request. For example, requests for projects with a small budget ($1,000 or less) should be submitted as a two- or three-page proposal, while large budget projects (more than $1,000 up to $2,500) should include more detail and be more pages.
Proposals will be evaluated for alignment with the mission of AMATYC and its strategic plan, perceived value, ability for accomplishment, and availability of funding.
If a project is approved for funding, the AMATYC Foundation Board will establish the parameters for payout of the funds, and requirements for reporting the results of the project to the AMATYC Foundation Board and dissemination beyond the AMATYC Foundation Board by the person(s) and/or entity in a timely manner at the completion of the project.
Please contact the Foundation Chair (amatycfoundation@amatyc.org) for additional information.
