Grant Alerts - June 2, 2016

We are fast approaching the end of the WCPSS fiscal year.  In the world of WCPSS grants, that means that Board approval for the grants listed on our Grant Alerts page expires June 30, 2016.  From July 1 until the first meeting of the Board of Education (probably around the 3rd week of July), NO grants will be Board approved.  It is fine to research, plan, and even write a grant.  However, your grant should not be submitted until we have received Board approval for the opportunity.  If there is a particular grant that you are considering, please let us know by June 30 so that we can make sure it is included on the first PrecĂ­s of the new fiscal year.

In the meantime, there are some great grant opportunities that are open right now.  Two of them are:

The North Carolina Electric Cooperatives offer Bright Ideas grants of up to $3,000 for innovative classroom projects. Learn more at http://wemc.com/bright-ideas-grants/ , and the deadline is September 13, 2016.

The Wake Electric Classroom Technology grants provide up to $3,000 for  technology equipment for classrooms.  More information can be found at http://wemc.com/class-awards/, and the deadline is September 13, 2016.


Happy grant writing!
