Finding state grants for education might be a little tricky. I’ve found that some states tend to bury their grant opportunities several pages deep on their web sites, while others have a “Grants” or “Funding” tab that is clearly visible on the state education department’s home page. If you haven’t looked for grants from your state education department and cannot find information about these opportunities, I’d recommend asking a colleague at another district or asking state officials directly. If it’s an elusive site to find, make sure you bookmark it for future reference!
Next month, I’ll discuss resources to help you find grants from private funders.
