Other Grant Sources

DonorsChoose.org At this not-for-profit web site, teachers submit project proposals for materials or experiences their students need to learn. These ideas become classroom reality when concerned individuals, whom we call Citizen Philanthropists, choose projects to fund. Other funding opportunities are listed by state. Submit a project.

Personal contacts—from conferences, professional organizations.  Remember there are only 6 degrees of separation from you to the person you want to reach—anywhere in the world.  Just start asking!
