Lana Bellew’s 6 Tips for Successful Grant Writing

  1. Steer clear of grants that are not a good match for your school or district.
  2. Take the time to learn about available grants, and then figure out how to match them up to your school’s needs.
  3. Look online for past winners, and compare and contrast those recipients and their needs to your own unique situation.
  4. Make up a grant calendar and use it to track existing and potential grant opportunities.
  5. Take a formal class in grant writing to learn the fine points of the process.
  6. Be ready to allocate four to five months to writing each grant, and then waiting for a response.

I teach technology in an inquiry based high school in Redmond, WA. I am fortunate to be part of a STEAM high school and to collaborate on many PBL projects. I have also taught technology integration in middle schools through pre-service teachers. I am currently teaching 5 sections of AP Computer Science Principles and I mentor a girl's outreach program for Computer Programming. As an Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert, I also have the privilege to travel and deliver trainings for i2E, NCCE and the Minecraft Education team. I have worked with #CorelaborateWA twitter teacher leaders and I am the 2017 WA PBS Digital Innovator. So many opportunities to meet and collaborate!
