Beginner’s Guide to Grant Writing and Free Resources Karen Gardner Ayden-Grifton HS Media Coordinator 2011 PCS Media Coordinator of the Year National Board Certified

What You Already Know! 1. My students have a need. 2. I need to locate a source which will allow me to help them meet that need. 3. It is necessary for me to express the needs of my students in a way which will inspire a grantor to fund my request.

Tips All Grant Writers Should Know Ask grantor to help you meet specific student goals and objectives, which are measurable in terms of student progress. *Write grants to meet educational goals—NOT to obtain equipment. Example: Is your goal to obtain Nooks? Or is your goal to increase reading proficiency by using Nooks as a strategy?

Tips All Grant Writers Should Know Choose your source wisely—Make sure the funder is interested in funding the type of program you are requesting funds for. Toshiba

Tips All Grant Writers Should Know Make sure you follow every guideline in the application instructions. If the application indicates you are limited to 500 words per question, don’t do 501!
