The Coral Springs Coconut Creek Regional Chamber of Commerce and its Education Foundation have announced the 11 recipients of the 2025 Micro-Grant Awards, recognizing innovative educational initiatives across Coral Springs, Coconut Creek, and surrounding communities.
The annual micro-grants provide up to $500 each to support projects that enhance student learning in areas including STEM, the arts, literacy, career readiness, environmental studies, and student leadership.
