Need funding?  Why not apply for a grant!  Before you apply, know that as the economy weakens, grant competition becomes stronger.  Give yourself plenty of time you prepare a well research application that clearly states your needs and that gives the grant provider exactly what they’re asking for.

Education Week maintains a nice list of current grants which includes A Little HOPE Grant, the Best Buy Teacher Award, Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy Grant, Reader’s Digest Foundation Make It Happen Grant, Pay It Forward Mini-Grants and several others.

GOOD LUCK!!
