General Info
Whether you have written a grant proposal or are interested in learning more about writing a grant proposal, this web site has been designed to assist you with providing resource information about grants.
Grants can be used as a vehicle for change.
Grants can change policies, build coalitions of teachers working and sharing ideas, and can create partnerships with other educational agencies. There are many levels of success built into the grant writing process. And process is the key word. The excitement of bringing people together to create coalitions, identifying needs, and developing solutions – steps taken to creating a grant proposal – can be more important than getting the money.
