In the Money: Where to Find Extra Education Tech Bucks
Weil, Marty
Technology & Learning, v28 n12 p18 Jul 2008
With the nation's economy in turmoil and the government budget axe falling on educational programs, many corporations and private foundations are responding to what has become a pressing need for funding in K-12 education throughout the United States. According to the Washington, D.C.-based Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, as of June 2008, at least 10 states are cutting or proposing to cut K-12 education budgets. Much of the time, technology programs are the first to get hit. To help school districts, individual schools, and classroom teachers identify resources for grant money, this article offers a guide to some of the most well-known and proactive K-12 grant providers. Many of these openly solicit grant proposals from educators in all 50 states.
