Funding Sources for K12 Education 2005, 7th Edition

Grants are supposed to enable work, not create more of it. You need a guide, a map, and the right tools for the job. Helping you get from the earliest brainstorming sessions to fully funded projects, this essential directory offers countless tips and resources. Approximately 1,600 funding opportunities from more than 1,100 sponsors - including U.S. and foreign foundations, corporations, government agencies, and other organizations - are listed here for elementary schools, school districts, educators, and K-12 educational organizations seeking grant sources. Users will find grants for curriculum and teacher development, equipment acquisition, building construction/renovation, cultural education programs, and 30 other program types. Each record includes: grant title; description; requirements; amount; application deadline; contact information (phone, fax, and e-mail); Internet access; sponsor name and address; and, samples of awarded grants (when available). Four indexes - subject, sponsoring organization, program type, and geographic - help you identify the right program quickly. Also included is "A Guide to Proposal Planning and Writing," by Jeremy Miner and Lynn Miner, which offers essential tips on the grant-seeking process.
