You will learn the ins and outs of grant seeking through lectures, discussions, and hands-on exercises and activities. The fast-paced, information-packed workshop will answer questions, such as:

How and where do I find appropriate grant opportunities?
What are the differences among federal, state, and private grants?
What do I need to know to write a successful grant proposal?
How can I increase my chances of writing successful grant proposals?

You’ll leave with winning grant seeking strategies and an understanding of the key components required by every grant. We will give you hundreds of tips and ‘do’s and don’ts’ – all designed to make you a more successful grant seeker.

At the end of the interactive, two-day workshop, you will have developed the key elements necessary to submit a simple proposal. Comprehensive workshop materials will include grant writing tips, sample proposals, checklists, forms, and much more to help guide your grant seeking efforts when you get back to your school or office.

A brochure and registration form can be downloaded by clicking here. And, as always, we are happy to answer any questions you may have.

Register soon to secure your spot! To ensure that we will be able to work with you in small groups and/or individually, each workshop is limited to only 35 participants.

SchoolGrants was created in 1999 as a way to share grant information with PK-12 educators. Grant writing can be intimidating to those who are new at it. SchoolGrants helps ease those fears by providing online tips to those who need them. Finding suitable grant opportunities requires a great deal of time and research - SchoolGrants reduces the effort by listing a variety of opportunities available to public and private nonprofit elementary and secondary schools and districts across the United States.

The SchoolGrants goal is to help the most kids possible by empowering those who teach them with the knowledge and resources necessary to write successful grant proposals. All of those who use the SchoolGrants site are encouraged to share their own insights as it is only through open sharing that the most children will benefit across this great Nation!

NOTE: SchoolGrants does not have information about daycare grants, private school scholarships, and/or tuition assistance for individual students. I also do not have information about how for-profit organizations can find grant opportunities.

A sample of the SBN is available by clicking here. (You will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer to view the sample newsletter.)

The SchoolGrants Bimonthly Newsletter is a very abbreviated version of the SBN. It contains a brief summary of relevant news and a few current grant opportunities for PK-12 schools. It is published every other month.

Let's Write a Grant CD

The Let's Write a Grant interactive CD was created in response to the large number of requests for grant writing assistance SchoolGrants receives. An excellent resource for experts and beginners alike, you can learn more about the CD and how to order it by clicking here.
