Description
Summary:Relatively few private and parochial schools are tapping funds available through grants, partly due to a lack of grantseeking skills in the K-12 institutions. This booklet offers guidelines for writing grant proposals for elementary or secondary school projects. Following the foreword, acknowledgements, and introduction, chapter 2 offers tips for getting started. First steps are to make a list of needs, seek out the appropriate foundations, and work with a colleague. Suggestions for designing the project and outlining the grant narrative are provided in chapter 3. The proposal's framework includes the following sections: introduction, problem statement, objectives, methodology, and evaluation (IPOME). The fourth chapter explains how to construct the budget, specifying personnel and nonpersonnel costs. Chapter 5 offers guidelines for writing the proposal's narrative, which details the IPOME skeleton. This chapter outlines the characteristics of a good proposal and identifies common problems listed by the receivers of proposals. A summary of tips and 12 exhibits are included. Appendices contain examples of three successful proposals and information on available workshops and videotapes on grant writing. (LMI)
