Grant writing refers to the practice of completing an application process for funding provided by an institution such as a government department, corporation, foundation or trust. Such application processes are often referred to as either grant "proposals" or "submissions." Successful grant writing requires a clear understanding of grantsmanship. While the principles and fundamentals of grantsmanship apply broadly, it is important to know the target and to be able to tune the language appropriately (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grant_writing).
I have never wrote a grant before if I was to write a grant I would request classroom supplies. I found a grant writing web site called (http://www.nea.org/home/10476.htm). It tells you have to write grants and why teachers would want to write a grant. This sight tell about actual grants received by teachers from other schools. Their grants were for fund raisers as well as educational purposes. For example, the received federal grants to teach foreign languages. The sight says that grants are not a college paper but kept it in simple terms and don't be afraid to ask for help from colleagues.
