School districts are finding it more and more difficult to function effectively on the support received from state and federal funds. This is especially true as ESSER money dries up, and schools are left searching for ways to fund crucial programs.

While most school administrators are aware that grants are available from both federal agencies and private organizations, they may be unfamiliar with sources of grant funds, and/or simply don’t  have the time to research what grants are available. Or how to viably obtain them.
