I grant you
’ve spent an enjoyable afternoon poking around the web looking for grants. I now present you with a braindump of the grant-ese that is currently swirling around in my skull. Mix n’ Match! Build your own funding agency! Try writing an abstract that uses all of the following words:
- Effective
- Develop
- Partnership
- Nationwide
- Resources
- Model
- Exellence
- Best practices
- Community learning
- Innovative learning
- Digital
- Enhance

Ahh, Grant-writing, the joys of trying to merge neediness with intellegent language.

Last week I submitted my first grant for the Library (for funding for Computer instruction materials and a computer tutor). My director gave me the assignment, and helped me out in the writing of the tome. After a quick web search, I found a grant-writing workshop through PLAN (Florida), to which she is willing to send me.
IT gives one a feeling of satisfaction to actually submit a completed Grant application, of course, this will be multiplied ten-fold if we get it!
