Welcome to SchoolGrants!
Your one-stop site for PK-12 school grant opportunities |

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 SchoolGrants goal is to help the most kids possible
by empowering those who teach them with the knowledge and resources
necessary to write successful grant proposals. All of those who use
the SchoolGrants site are encouraged to share their own insights as it is
only through open sharing that the most children will benefit across this
great Nation! |

|
NOTE:
SchoolGrants does not have information about private
school scholarships, grants and/or tuition assistance for individual
students (including college students) or daycare grants (unless you are a 501(c)(3) organization). I
also do not have information about how for-profit organizations can find
grant opportunities for themselves. |
