Welcome to SchoolGrants!
Your one-stop site for PK-12 school grant opportunities |

SchoolGrants was created in 1999 as a way to share
grant information with PK-12 educators. Grant writing can be
intimidating to those who are new at it. SchoolGrants helps ease
those fears by providing online tips to those who need them. Finding
suitable grant opportunities requires a great deal of time and research -
SchoolGrants reduces the effort by listing a variety of
opportunities available to public and private nonprofit elementary and secondary schools and districts
across the United States. The SchoolGrants goal is to help the most kids possible
by empowering those who teach them with the knowledge and resources
necessary to write successful grant proposals. All of those who use
the SchoolGrants site are encouraged to share their own insights as it is
only through open sharing that the most children will benefit across this
great Nation! |

NOTE:
SchoolGrants does not have information about daycare
grants, private
school scholarships, and/or tuition assistance for individual students. I
also do not have information about how for-profit organizations can find
grant opportunities.
Vendors: Do you wish to assist
schools in obtaining grant funding to purchase your services or products?
SchoolGrants can help! |

There are two electronic newsletters available through SchoolGrants.
The SchoolGrants Biweekly Newsletter (SBN) is
published twice each month. Available at the incredibly low price of
only $45/year per subscriber, the newsletter provides up-to-date,
researched information about upcoming grant opportunities, available grant
resources (the majority of which are free), grant writing hints, and
upcoming deadlines. A sample of the SBN is available by

Acrobat Reader installed on your computer to view the sample

The SchoolGrants Bimonthly Newsletter is a very abbreviated version

current grant opportunities for PK-12 schools. It is published every
other month. |

workshop! The next workshop will be held on April 10-11, 2008, at the
Special Events Center in
Garland, TX.The workshop is designed for educators
by educators with many years of experience and success in obtaining state,
federal, and foundation grants for PK-12 schools, districts, charters,
private nonprofit schools, and nonprofit organizations that work with
schools and school-age children.
A highlight of our Going for the Gold workshops is the
