Hello!
My name is Susan . I am a k-1 teacher in a school in the West Village in NYC. My main course of studies this year are the Bronx Zoo and the Hudson River. I would like a grant for the following:Tickets to see LION KING, a ride on the Metro North up the Hudson and a bus and tickets to visit the Philadephia Zoo. I thought this would be a good site to see, if there are people that can make this happen for my class.
Thank you so much!

I'm a federal and state grant writer with over 20 years experience in public education, including 14 as a grant writer, coordinator, consultant, and coach. I'm looking for some great new clients--public or charter schools. My perfect client is a medium to large sized school district (5,000 - 25,000 students) or a thriving charter school system whose leaders understand the value a professional grant writer can bring to a project, thus freeing them to do their "real" jobs of educating kids.
I'd love to chat with you by email or phone or online via my Facebook page, so drop me a line if your district needs grant help in any way. I also coach leaders and grant writers, thus building organizational capacity to win more grants on your own. I have a lot to contribute and am a teacher at heart. Let me hear from you!

Hi, Susan.
The site Donors Choose -- http://www.donorschoose.org/ -- might be a better venue for you to raise the funds you need for field trips such as these. You can post what you need for your classroom, advertise the link to area businesses, community groups, parents, and others, and then have them donate the funds for tickets. Grants, per se, for such a narrowly focused activity will likely be harder to come by (and probably more work than is necessary). In addition, finding an arts-focused grant for field trips can be difficult.

Hi, Martha. The problem with this is that usually there aren't enough homeschooled kids to make the "splash" that funders want to with their dollars. Meaning the impact on just a handful of kids won't be as great as it would with a grant to an entire school or district. As I mentioned to Susan (below), you might try Donors Choose -- http://www.donorschoose.org/ -- and advertise the link to your friends, colleagues, parents, and business and community groups. Their donations can fund many types of projects. Good luck!

Hi, my name is Gail and I am a second grade teacher at a struggling school district in Upper Michigan. I have been teaching for 12 years. I love my job but hate the politics involved with teaching these days. I hope to find ways to fund education in our school. I am new at grant writing so I can use all of the help I can get.

How do you become a professional grant writer? I am a teacher who's received more than a dozen small grants (donors choose included) but am interested in making it a career.

Great Lakes Energy Service, Inc. (GLES) was formed in 2008 as a 501(c)3 non-profit education organization. The current project of GLES is to educate K-14 students about the importance of self sustaining energy systems with a focus on renewable energy and conservation. GLES disseminates the word about sustaining a more energy responsible tomorrow via a travelling classroom as well as by providing a free Energy Education supplemental curriculum for K-14 teachers.
Holistically, it is important for students to be able to distinguish between non-renewable and renewable energy sources and to identify ways in which to improve their environment and community through their energy use in order to be ecologically aware and socially responsible. In addition to becoming environmentally aware, students should be prepared to enter the Michigan job market. By 2015, Michigan has pledged that 10% of energy used will come from renewable energy sources. The state's No Worker Left Behind program is a $6 million investment of federal dollars designed to increase the number of “green” industries and businesses in Michigan. Our students must have a solid understanding of renewable or “green” energies, including what they are, how they work, and the technologies that are employed through their use, if they are to compete in the future job market of Michigan.
In order to help facilitate an energy conscious society, GLES designed a mobile classroom and science standard aligned curriculum that targets renewable energy and conservation concepts, as well as provides hands on learning activities which aid comprehension and prolongs memory life of the lessons. GLES’s $200,000 mobile classroom provides students and adults alike with multiple renewable energy and energy efficiency visual displays, real solar and wind energy working components which power the classroom, and touchable learning tools. Students learn about energy efficiency and renewable energy sources in a fun and interactive manner that we have come to understand leaves a lasting impression. We believe our innovative classroom and curriculum provide memorable moments in teaching and learning, which are key to comprehension and the acceptance of new ideas. GLES successfully provides this service for approximately 20,000 Michigan students a year. We provide this service free of charge to all Michigan Schools.

Great Lakes Energy Service, Inc.’s Renewable Energy Mobile Classroom and Energy Camps provides students with a unique learning experience that targets national and state of Michigan science standards.
We would like to invite you to visit to register or give us a call for additional information on how you can receive free education in Michigan for your students or organization. Visit are made on a first come, first serve basis until funding ends. Our schedule fills quickly, so it’s never t o early to plan your visit. www.greatlakesenergyservice.org for details.
State and national science standards for grades 4-7, students are exposed to Science Processes: Inquiry Process, Physical Science, and Reflection and Social Implications, and Earth Science. Specifically, students make observations (S.IP), generate questions (S.IP), manipulate tools that aid observation (S.IP), share ideas via communication in collaborative groups (S.IA), demonstrate scientific concepts through activities (S.RS), identify current problems that may not be solved by technology (S.RS), identify heat and electricity as forms of energy (P.EN), demonstrate how electrical energy is transferred through the use of a simple circuit (P.EN), develop an understanding of how different forms of energy are transferred by radiation, conduction or convection (P.EN), identify that nuclear reactions take place in the sun, producing heat and light (P.EN), understand that only a tiny fraction of light energy from the sun is transformed to heat on Earth (P.EN), identify the smallest component that makes up an element (P.PM) understand how the warming of the Earth by the sun produces winds (E.ES), and develop an understanding that the origins of pollution in the atmosphere, geosphere and hydrosphere impact climate change, habitats, and species (E.ES).
Secondary students experience the same learning activities as the younger grades, but the standards are organized under Earth Science, Chemistry, Physics, and Biology.
