Dear
Friends,
We are just a
few days away from our Christmas break and I know all everyone can
think about is just getting the next few days behind us, but, once again I just
wanted to send out a little encouragement, that if, during your break, you find
your mind wandering, consider trying your hand at writing a grant
for WWW.DONORSCHOOSE.ORG
Just
this week I had 2 grants fulfilled through this website for technology and learning
materials in my classroom. I also have 2 more posted which are both at under
$100 to fund. All four of these grants have been up LESS THAN an MONTH. I would
like to resubmit to you some of the previous tips I gave before as
well as some new ones:
New Tips
· Place the key word "military" somewhere
in your description of your students. As Wayne county does serve SJAFB I think
this would be a good demographic to include in student descriptions. Goldman
Sachs is currently teamed withwww.donorschoose.org to fulfill all
but $95 dollars of grants with this key word. They started on Veterans Day and
are still currently applying funds to grant with this buzz word. At our school
one teacher alone had this word in her proposal and now she has
a Promethean board waiting to in her classroom to be mounted. This
should definitely be motivation to give it a try!
· Keep most of your proposals under $400 dollars for materials
( 1pt projects) - These tend to get funded faster.
