Show me the money: Grant Writing Basics

Monday December 17, 2018:  Sessions A, B, & C

How many times have you had a brilliant idea for a classroom project, but then realized that you don't have the resources or funding to make it happen? You either had to pay for the equipment out of your own pocket or regrettably had to postpone the project with your students indefinitely. This was the same dilemma that National Magnet Teacher of the Year Matthew Waynee faced for years, but he finally decided to try to write some grants to fund his projects. Over the last four years, he has written several grants that have brought in over $680,000 to purchase equipment for his students and film department! Join him for this hands-on workshop that will guide you through the steps to start writing your own grants proposals. Learn about the fundamentals of grant writing, tips on how to make your applications stand out, and resources on where to find possible grants. By the end of this workshop, you will have the opportunity to create a profile page on a fundraising website for educators where Waynee won a $4,000 grant! Bring your computer and an idea (or two) for a specific project that you would like to get funded for your students. The money is out there; gain the skills and insight on how to start winning some grants to help make your vision for your students a reality.

*NOTE: I literally received an update from Adopt-A-Classroom on Dec 19 that effective after Feb 1, 2019, for all future Adopt-A-Classroom grants, the materials obtained will be owned by the school and no longer by the teacher. For the most part this shouldn’t effect what you ask for. One would expect that your school will still let you use the materials you won through a grant. However, if you are asking for larger items like iPads or printers, they will be owned by your school.
