On Thursday afternoon of the conference I sat in on the session by Lindsay McFillin titled “Grant Writing for Beginners! Opportunities and Tips”. Ms. McFillin lead a great and frank discussion of the world of grants. From the perspective of a grant award team member, Ms. McFillin gave us the realities of the grant decision process. Such as if you do not follow a simple requirement such as summary word count, you will likely be discarded in the first round. To more advanced tips such as sending notes of thanks even if you are not chosen.
For all those who missed the session, fear not her PowerPoint presentation can be found here. It is titled Grant Writing Seminar. This page also has other wonderfully free materials.
Here organization’s website, www.digitalwish.org, offers a 2 for 1 grant to add an Ultra Flip to their classroom.
