Grant Champions

If you are interested in fostering grant development within your school, contact Ashley Garrison to learn more about the Grant Champions Program. As a Grant Champion, you will build your grant development skills, lead a grant development team and secure additional grant funding for your school.

Steps to becoming a Grant Champion:

1. Let your Principal know you are interested in being the Grant Champion for your school
2. Form a Grant Committee with the Principal, a few members of Staff, Parents, PTA and SGC members
3. Understand your School's strategic plan and discuss funding needs or resource gaps
4. Inform school leadership of your intent to apply for a grant and complete the online grant approval form
5. Research grant opportunities that align with your project. Review the Monthly Grant Alert posted on the Grant Champions site each month.
6. Mine local resources - reach out to local businesses, Partners in Education, Rotary, Corporate Foundations, local service groups, religious organizations
7. Submit your proposals to the Funder or Grantor and win grant funding for your school!

Grant Champions workshops provide consultative support, grant writing tips and tricks and resources on a variety of programs for those interested in grant development, funding opportunities and grant research.
