Do you want to know how our classroom received over $25,000 of resources in TWO SCHOOL YEARS?
Are you scared to write grants for your school or your
classroom? Do you think it will take too much time? I am here to send you a little motivation and
strength! Grant writing does not need to be time-consuming. My husband loves to watch sports, and I may
sit near him while he watches sports in the living room, but I may also have my
computer out as well. I will sometimes
write grants as we are watching television.
Once you start writing grants, you can save the drafts and only have to
change some of the wording to fit who you
are writing to or for the supplies you need. (This is especially true for DonorsChoose and local grants where you can
reapply) When you start seeing the amount of items you can attain for your
classroom, you will be very motivated to keep the momentum going.
A few suggestions are as follows:
·
First, find local grants to apply for.
·
Once you are
successful with local grants, then branch out to national grants.
·
State why you need the funding or supplies for
your classroom. (Why should someone donate to you over another teacher?)
·
Make sure to be very specific about what you will do with the supplies or
funds.
·
E-mail local business to see if they can donate
supplies to your classroom or donate towards your DonorsChoose project.

Do you want DonorsChoose tips? Are you frustrated that your
DonorsChoose project does not always get funded? Why do some teachers’ projects
fund and others do not?
Here are two DonorsChoose Projects we have out right now. The projects expire three weeks from now.
^^ Dream project! We want to become a 1:1 classroom with iPads by the fall! =)
Please post your projects in the comments below! A.so, what other questions do you have?
Thank you,
