Micro Grants

Grant Program for School Attendance Teams

The Attendance Matters Louisiana Grant program provides $500 grants as incentives to elementary and middle schools to support their Attendance Teams.

These grants are intended to help schools develop creative strategies that strengthen student attendance and family engagement during the school year.

Teacher Appreciation

Strong schools begin with dedicated educators. Each year, we partner with local schools to recognize teachers and staff during Teacher Appreciation Week, celebrating their commitment to students, families, and school communities.

Behind them, there are posters on the wall, a door with the room number 142, a fire safety sign, and a glass door with a view of plants and a colorful display outside.

Access to clean, well-fitting school uniforms should never be a barrier to attendance.

We have partnered with local schools to collect, clean, and distribute donated school uniforms to students and families in need. This effort helped address a common barrier to attendance while supporting students throughout the school year.
