You will learn how to identify possible grant opportunities, develop a grant proposal, and submit a grant. The information and case studies shared during this presentation come from a combination of 6+ years of first-hand grant writing experience within the PreK-12 education space as well as first-hand accounts and stories from educators who have taken up the role of “grant writer” at their respective schools. Presented by National Math Foundation Program Manager, Kirby Schoephoerster. 100% of the proceeds from this recording will be donated to the National Math Foundation.
