I've got a great opportunity for anyone who would like to uphold their Parent Pledge to volunteer but doesn't have the flexibility to come into school, grant volunteers.
When Christine and I were writing the charter petition we wrote a few grants to support the process over the course of 2 years. Luckily we had people to point us to grants that were applicable to us.
Now, as directors of the school it has become increasingly difficult to sift for grants. There are so many out there that it's actually overwhelming. Comparative with going to a restaurant and having too much on the menu. What we need is a go getter who is ready to jump in and find us some grants that are applicable to our programs.
Ideas to get you started would be to look for:
K- 8 grants
Social Emotional Curriculum grants
Reading program/therapy grants
Project Based Learning Grants
Service Learning Grants
I have a few resources that would be helpful to any grant volunteers including a newsletter with biweekly grant opportunities.
Grants are extremely important to schools, not only as additional capital and financial support for programs, they also often encourage partnership and collaboration with other organizations.
If you're looking for a creative way to really support IA, you're web savvy (effectively searching on Google is easy for you), and are interested in working closely with the admin team, this is it!
Please contact me when you'd like to get started, we can certainly have a team on this.
