The Michael Jordan Fundamentals grant (up to $2500) has finally published revised guidelines and an application can be printed from the link above (PDF). General guidelines:

"--The Jordan Fundamentals Grants are awarded to teachers or paraprofessionals who work with students in grades from six (6) through twelve (12) in a U.S. public school who also demonstrate instructional creativity and exemplify high learning expectations for economically disadvantaged students. At least 40% of the school's student population must be eligible for the free or reduced school lunch program."

"--Applicants must develop an original lesson plan or thematic unit. Unique teaching methods and projects are encouraged. The grants fund resource materials, supplies, equipment, transportation, or other costs related to field trips."

Deadline is June 15, 2001.
