Funding

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 Foundation Center is the most authoritative source of information on private philanthropy in the United States. They help grantseekers, grantmakers, researchers, policymakers, the media, and the general public better understand the field of philanthropy.

This program supports the creation of community learning centers that provide academic enrichment opportunities during non-school hours for children, particularly students who attend high-poverty and low-performing schools. The program helps students meet state and local student standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math; offers students a broad array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs; and offers literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children.
