5 Easy Ways to Find $ for School Programs

• Donors Choose-Hatch an idea. Write about it. State what you need. Wait. View other successful projects. Keep it simple and keep it cheap. Requests at or under $200 are usually funded quickly. Repeat as needed
• Get what you need for Free at iLoveSchools. Create a wishlist and see what happens.
• For technology to support education programs try DigitalWish
• Access and download free classroom resources and lesson plans including primary documents at Free Resources for Educational Excellence
• Go grant shopping and sign up to receive up to date grant info from the NEA Foundation.

So there's a good start. Best advice for grant seekers is to start small. Where to find more information about grants? Join Education-Based Social Networks such as Classroom2.0, the Educator's PLN or Fireside Learning and post a question to one of the Forums. Most teachers are more than willing to help a fellow educator in need.

Good Luck and post comments with you success stories below.
