We offer grant-related services to school districts all over Western New York: NOTE: The fees for all of our services are aidable. Grants Database The Grants Office receives continuing updates on new grant opportunities and revisions to existing grants. We share this with you through our Grants Database – click on the Link below for free access to that database. The database includes a page for each funder, with summaries, deadlines, and links to the funder’s website. The database is revised and new grants are added on a regular basis. And at the bottom of this page are links to State and Federal education funding opportunities. Or, if you prefer, we can do the research ourselves to find funders for your project. Signing up for the grantwriting service entitles you to three free hours of research for EACH separate project that you’re looking to fund. (The base fee for the service is $2,425 for the 09-10 school year; contact Maureen Longobardi in the Grants Office for details.) Grantwriting and Editing When you find a grant you’re interested in, you may apply for it on your own, or you can enlist the help of our experienced and successful grantwriting team. We’ll not only write the grant proposal for you, we can even help you design a project or program that will maximize your chances of obtaining funding. When you contact us, we’ll assign one of our highly experienced grantwriters to your project, who will: -
Meet with your staff to obtain a thorough understanding of your project and identify prospective funding sources -
Write a draft proposal and meet with key personnel to review it Revise it and meet again, as necessary, until the proposal is complete and accurate -
Prepare the budget and all related forms, obtain the appropriate signatures, make the necessary copies, and put the proposal in the mail (or submit it online) -
Follow up with the funding authorities and supply them with additional information as needed - The grantwriter will prepare a quote on the cost of the work before she/he begins, for your approval in advance. If your district has limited funds, we can simply review and edit a proposal that you or your staff have already written.
Consolidated Application One of our most popular services is preparation and submission of the annual Consolidated Application, which involves: -
Meeting with your staff and gathering the information necessary to write the narratives for each of the Title grants -
Filling out all the required forms (FS10’s, Transferability, Scientific Research, Comparability Report, PIR, etc.) -
Working with your district’s private schools to plan their use of the Title II through V funds -
Copying and mailing the applications -
Following up with NYSED as needed, to answer their questions and provide additional information, as long as it takes for your application to be approved -
For the 09-10 school year, the fee for this work is $2,860.
We can also prepare your Part 154, or work with your private schools to obtain Title I funds for their eligible students, for additional fees. Contact Maureen Longobardi for more information. NYSED Audits In the summer of 2006, under orders from the US Department of Education’s NCLB staff, NYSED began a series of audits of NYS school districts. NYSED told us that 100 school districts across the state will be selected for a Title I Desk Audit every year. We have a great deal of experience with these desk audits, and we’ll be pleased to help you prepare and submit yours to the NYSED auditors. Contact Maureen Longobardi for details.
