Support for Education Agencies

We Write Grants for Schools and Education Agencies

From entitlement funds to federal grants like I3, 21st Century Learning Centers and Race to the Top, there are billions of dollars in grant funds available for education agencies. Resource Associates is dedicated to helping K-12 schools, districts, and colleges and universities find the funds they need to implement innovative programs, supplement tight budgets, expand learning opportunities, and ensure their students are prepared for future success.

Grant writing is a highly skilled and time consuming activity, but vital to educational institutions’ ability to serve their students. While there is an expense to hire a grant writer, an experienced grant writing firm like Resource Associates will quickly offset the expense in the funds they win for your institution. Often times, Resource Associates can write a grant for free so it’s always a good idea to call and explore your options with one of our consultants. It’s also important to consider that a qualified grant writer will:

• Will reduce the time your staff members spend distracted from their core teaching or administrative duties.
• Increase staff’s time for strategic planning and other vital leadership activities.
• Enhance the delivery of high quality, grant funded programs.
• Eliminate last minute, piecemealed grant proposals and non-aligned programs.

We’ve helped hundreds of schools and districts find funding to support and expand their services

“I count on Resource Associates to help us do our best work for our students. They care about our students as much as I do and celebrate our success right alongside us. I recommend the Resource Associates team to any school district. You have nothing to lose and millions of dollars to gain for your students.”
