With all of the challenges today, K-12 schools and districts need many things beyond what budgets provide. Yet there always seem to be budget shortfalls rather than increases.

One way to supplement district, school, or classroom funding is by winning a grant. Grants vary in size and focus, and can make a big difference not only in the money you have to spend but also for the freedom to try new ideas.

Tech & Learning’s free Grant Writing Guide includes resources, step-by-step proposal writing tips, checklists, and other strategies for grant-writing success.

What follows are the grants available for K-12 schools and districts in the year ahead, and the corresponding deadlines.
