About the Grants Office

Ten Tips for Education Grants
1. Learn as much as possible about each program to which you intend to apply
2. Involve others in your project, but be judicious; have a purpose for their involvement
3. Customize each proposal to the requirements of the funder
4. Get reviewers comments for non-winning proposals and use their feedback in future proposals (www.fcc.gov/foia)
5. Include only support letters that demonstrate a real commitment on the part of the sender
6. Make grant-seeking part of your agency’s strategy— don’t put all your eggs in one basket
7. Be specific in your budget, most funders have generous allowances for budget length
8. Don’t include materials other than those specifically requested by the funder
9. Have an outsider edit your proposal before you submit it
10. Follow the directions
