What We Do

For the District

For a limited number of districtwide or multi-site applications, we offer start-to-finish management of the grant application process, including:

  • Liaising with current and potential external funding agencies
  • Helping translate ideas into fundable projects
  • Identifying potential grant funding sources
  • Interpreting grant guidelines
  • Completing grant applications
  • Writing narrative
  • Developing project budgets
  • Providing supporting research/data
  • Editing and proofreading applications
  • Formatting, copying and mailing/delivering applications

 

For Classrooms/School Sites

The Grants Office provides differentiated grant application services to teachers, staff, and site administrators for site-based applications on a case-by-case basis depending on the capacity of the office. Our services for site-based applications include the following:

  • Conducting funding searches & recommending funding opportunities
  • Re-framing funding needs as viable projects
  • Editing narratives
  • Consulting on budgets
  • Reviewing applications

In general, we do not:

  • Initiate, manage, complete, or submit applications (check out our Application ToolKit)
  • Gather Budget department projections or confirm accuracy of budget items
  • Communicate with the funding agency on behalf of the applicant
  • Gain permission or approval from site administrators or district-level administrators to apply for a funding opportunity
