In these times of shrinking budgets I know I should be more active to track down alternate funding sources. One recent search of possibilities led me to the Hewlett-Packard site. Here’s an excerpt from their description of the Technology for Teaching grant:
The HP Technology for Teaching Grant Initiative is designed to support the innovative use of mobile technology in K-16 education, and to help identify K-12 public schools and two- and four-year colleges and universities that HP might support with future grants. Based on the outcomes of the projects funded through this initiative in 2007, HP may offer some grant recipients additional, higher-value grants in 2008.
Will I have the opportunity to create a strong proposal? I suppose time will tell…but I’m convinced that as innovation is pushed from our systems by standardized tests that alternate funding sources may be the only way to get a vision for technology integration implemented.
What do you think? Have you had any success acquiring grants or funding through community, business or other non-budget sources and relationships?
