HOWTO
WRITE
EDUCATION
GRANTS




Grants
How To:

Where to Find
Money to Enhance
Educational
Opportunities?

10 Tips for
Grantwriters:


Adapted from Grants and Grantwriting by,
Nancy Powell in the Teachers Guide to
Cyberspace.


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!

6. Address each and every question posed in a clear,
succinct way.
Make sure to use the terminology found in the grant
application and stay away from educational and the
technical jargon.

7. Prepare a budget that anyone can understand.
A detailed budget is usually preferred over a
general one.

8. Check, check, and triple check to make sure the
grant application is complete and that you meet the
deadline.

9. Remember that not all applications are awarded
funding, but if your project is one you truly want
to make happen, you can find a funder.
Don't hesitate to call or write to get the reviewers
comments if your grant is not funded.

10. Write a thank you note no matter what the outcome.
