Since most of our members already use our Web Hosting Services for their myCampus K-12 portal, Learning Management System, Public Website and other back-end systems it only seemed natural to apply for an e-Rate SPIN number to move further into the motto of shared costs.

Searching for funding

My school, a Catholic Elementary School for students ages Pre-K through grade 8, is looking for funding for capital improvements to our building. We opened in 1961 and I believe we are still using the original windows, doors and boiler. Our utility bills are astronomical. We would like to "GO GREEN" and as a 503 (c) are hoping someone can point us in the right direction to apply for funding to replace these items. All ideas are welcome.
