Project details

What we need
  • Research into ideal funder profile(s) and list of sources
  • Development of a list of prospects (up to 15) that fit that ideal funder profile, including contact information when applicable and list of sources
  • Recommendations on areas for further exploration/research
Additional details

We are seeking research grants for innovation in education to support our current and future work. We need a helping hand to delve into the prospects out there so we can prepare to pursue the opportunities that fit our needs.

What we have in place
  • We can share our ideas on the type of funding we want to pursue. We have clear initiatives for which we need funding. We have a staff member to support this project.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,494 , allowing us to continue to use valuable resources to invest in innovation in K-12 education.

We have been funding our innovative work with no support from outside funders. Now that we are gaining more insight into our impact, we are ready to pursue additional funding. Self-funding or one funding source is not a sustainable approach and we know that. We are excited to open the opportunity for others to co-invest in the knowledge gaining and impact making work we do.
