Module 5 Grant Writing Opportunities (Heather Summers)

I too believe that donorschoice.org is a great resource for technology initiatives. My co-workers are on that site all the time asking for school supplies. People request supplies and resources and others sponsor the money or send the materials to the people they would like to receive the help. Moreover, there are grants that my co-workers have found through local businesses, such as cell phone companies like US Cellular. Many companies have a goal to help education, and some community businesses will sponsor change and initiatives in school. Involving the community makes it easier to incorporate the technology initiative into the school, as well. Grantwrangler.com is a great resource for educators searching for the right grant for their technology initiative. It has small grants to large grants.

  1. While exploring donorschoose.org, I noticed a teacher asking for 30 chromebooks, and he only had 171.00 to go! I feel hopeful! Also, I plan to compile a list of these grant sites and distribute to the faculty at my school, maybe it will encourage more involvement.

  2. Thanks for the sites! Do you know if PTO/PTA can write grants?
