with a student/parent, etc. Use this experience to talk about the learning that happens in your classroom.
8. Don’t Forget a Title!-Many organizations love a cre- ative, catchy title since they read so many applica- tions. If the application asks for a title, make sure you spend some time crafting something original so that your request stands out.
9. Keep a Record-Keep a list of all grants you have ap- plied for so that even if you do not win anything this year, you can always reapply. Also, print out the appli- cations you send in, mark them with the application date, and keep everything in a big folder. Trust me it will come in handy when you receive a congratula- tory email and know which grant it is that you won.
10. Thank You and Follow Up-I always send a personal- ized thank you note to each sponsor who gave my school a grant. Some grants ask for a write up of how
the funds were used which is also important to pro- vide. Where possible, send pictures of your students using the equipment/software that you purchased to let the donors see their dollars at work first hand.
11. Keep an Open Mind-If the grant does not benefit your school music program, can it benefit someone else or some other endeavor you are a part of? Perhaps an after school program, a summer camp, a youth program at your church? Never hurts to think outside the box!
I hope that this was helpful for you. For information
on various grants, you can find my Instagram handle: grantsformusicteachers. I post a new grant opportunity every week so make sure to check often so that you do not miss potential new opportunities! Good luck!
