CODA Grant

CODA stands for Creating Outstanding Development in the musical Arts.

A CODA Grant is an opportunity for KMEA members to obtain a mini-grant for up to $200 from the KMEA Fund in their classroom for a creative project that enhances curriculum. Funds obtained from this grant are not meant to, and should not be used to replace or supplant currently budgeted school funds. To apply for a grant, please complete the CODA Grant Application.

Successful CODA Grant Application Characteristics:

  1. Complete every field in the application.
  2. Give your project a succinct but descriptive title.
  3. Be realistic about the scope of your project. The maximum CODA amount you can receive is $200. If your project will cost more than that, detail the source of the additional funds (e.g., PTA funds, department funds, kind benefactor, fund raising).
  4. Describe your Project Proposal adequately. Why do you want to do this? Is this something your district should fund as a part of the regular curriculum instead? The weighting for this portion of the application is 50% of the total score.
  5. Student Outcomes: What do you want students to know and be able to do as a result of this project? Your outcomes should be measureable. The weighting for this portion of the application is 50% of the total score.

Successful applicants should refrain from applying again for two calendar years.
