Application Process
Before You Begin Writing     While You Are Writing     When You Have Finished
Tackling a grant might seem daunting, especially if you have never done it before.  We have assembled some resources to help you.  In addition, the district currently has a grant writer who can read your proposal, offer friendly critique, and help shape the planning and thinking process.
Top of PageBefore You Begin Writing
  • Complete a Project Planning Form (recommended).  This will help you crystallize your thinking and be sure that your proposal addresses the key elements that most funders look for.
  • Using the results of your project planning form, check for open grant competitions on our site, or through many other online sites.

Whether or not signatures are required, send a copy of the completed grant application to Janet at the District Office.
