GRANT FUNDING NEWSLETTER

Coral Springs High School Receives Lowe’s Grant for

School Beautification

The Lowe’s Charitable and Educational Foundation has awarded a $5,000 Lowe’s Toolbox for Education® grant to Coral Springs High School for school beautification. Coral Springs High School is one of 608 schools across the United States to be awarded a Lowe’s Toolbox for Education grant. Grant funds were used to purchase Native Florida shrubs, trees and flowers, that were planted in the school courtyard. Benches were also installed for extra seating and collaboration spaces. The patio tables and surrounding walls were painted in the school colors. “We spend a lot of time in our school courtyard for lunches, outdoor learning and peer to peer collaborations. Thank you [Lowe’s] for helping us to make this a special place.” Dona Maggio, Media Specialist, Coral Springs High School.

Name: Dona Maggio

Position: Media Specialist, Coral Springs High School

Years of service: 21

How many grants have you been awarded and what is the total dollar amount awarded? Over the last 21 years in Education, I’ve written numerous grants averaging approximately $5,000 a year which is over $100,000 in grant funding for various programs and schools in Broward County.

Which grant-supported project is your favorite? I really like them all and get excited about the opportunities and projects grant funding allows me to pursue. I’ve received grants for professional development, school beautification, school library grants and various projects. I have worked at a center school for students with disabilities, and at the elementary, middle and high school levels. I feel it is important to note that the funding I have received for materials, technology and curriculum stays at the school I originally wrote the project for. Since I write grants for projects to benefit a specific group of the students, staff or school; the materials stay at that school to continually benefit that community even though I’ve moved to a different location. I know that is not required it’s my way of giving back because I truly love all of my past school communities.

What is your process for filling out a grant application? First, I read through the entire grant application so I am aware of all the questions as I am writing. It’s important that your project objectives, purpose and budget are all tied together. So, if you are asking for funding for technology you should really have an objective and purpose that connects to students using technology. I like to give brief examples explaining the need for funding or to use educational research to back up my request.

Do you have any grant writing tips? Read through the complete application, answer all questions as clearly as you can leaving out educational jargon or if needed spell out educational abbreviations. I also check the Foundation’s or Organization’s webpage to see if they give examples of past projects. This really helps me to get an idea of what kinds of programs they’ll fund. Although I have written grants for the maximum amount allowed, for the most part I always choose a grant amount a little below the maximum. Whenever possible I let the grant reader know we would be appreciative of any amount awarded. That increases the odds of getting some funding if not the full amount requested.
