 ADF offers two types of Grants:

The ADF Student Achievement Grant is designed to fund projects ranging in value from $500 to $5,000.

This grant is typically awarded to school employees directly working with students in an academic setting.

Eligible applicants include classroom teachers, reading recovery teachers, math specialists, librarians, technology directors, deans of students, and counselors.

The ADF Impact Grant is designed to award up to $15,000.

Funds can be used for projects and programs that extend beyond a single classroom and may include collaborations between multiple teachers, multiple schools, and nonprofit organizations.

Through Entergy’s Micro Grants Program, we accept requests for up to $1,000 in all program areas: arts and culture; community improvement/enrichment; economic development, education/literacy, environment and healthy families. 

Please make sure to submit your application at least three months prior to the time the requested funds are needed. We receive many applications throughout the year, and we need to allow sufficient time to review each request carefully. Once you have submitted your application online, please allow at least 8 (eight) to 12 (twelve) weeks for review and notification of the result of your request. If by that time Entergy has not contacted you, please feel free to call the appropriate contributions coordinator for your geographic area. 

• In considering requests for grants, priority is placed on programs in specific counties/parishes. If you have questions about this, please contact the Entergy contributions coordinator in your area.
