This week I'm attending a 3 day grant writing workshop presented by The Institute for Communication Improvement and I have tons of resources about grants. I have received grants before for projects in the past but I wanted to create an after school program for English as a Second Language learners at my school, so my school graciously paid for the cost of this 3 day workshop. I want to steer away from the $1000 grants and head toward grants that exceed this amount. So here are some good websites about grants:

Not specifically a grant resource but definitely check out:

It is really exciting to be a part of change: sitting in a room full of people who want to make things happen feels good. I have had the best conversations with different people in different fields- from transportation, urban planning, academia, social work and the medical field.
