What is One Stop Grants?

Anyone who is involved in their local schools, either as a teacher, a parent, a community volunteer, a board of education member or an administrator, knows there is one key factor in implementing new programs, purchasing equipment and materials and expanding student options – money. Unfortunately in this era of increasingly tight school budgets, many districts just don’t have enough money to do everything they’d like to do.

Many educators find that outside funding, in the form of grants, can provide the answer. However, in many cases, getting a grant is much easier said then done. Developing a program, finding a suitable funding opportunity, and completing the grant application requires a great deal of time and research. That’s where One Stop Grants can help.

Our site is designed as an interactive, on-line grant writing tool, available to you, for your project, and on your schedule throughout the school year. One Stop Grants empowers its users with the knowledge and resources necessary to locate appropriate funding opportunities, develop quality programs and write successful grants.

And One Stop Grants is affordable. The cost of our service is aidable, so for example if your district receives 40% aid, an entire school year’s worth of Level 1 service would cost you only $900!

Our features include:

• What’s New – be the first to find out about the latest opportunities and news from the grant world

• Searchable Grant Opportunities –
