10 Tips For Grant Writers
1 - Have a great idea that stretches the minds of students and challenges teachers to extend past their comfort zones. Your program or project needs to be unique, have some sound benefits for students, and be able to be maintained by the district and/or replicated by others.
2 - Find a funder and a grant that seems to fit the ideas that you’ve only dreamed of. Look in your community first and then expand your search.
3 - If time permits, make every attempt to gather a team of educational personnel, business people, community members, and parents who are or could become interested in the program.
4 - Read the grant application and guidelines very carefully, taking special note of things that seem to be important to the funders.
5 - Remember and remind funders who the grant will ultimately benefit - your students!
