Has anyone here ever found having someone around who knows how to write grant proposals to be useful to their team or school? It's time for me to register for the spring semester while I work on my license and they're offering a course in it. Seems like it might come in pretty handy down the road...

Yeah I actually did hear of a school in Alabama that was able to pay off a lot of debt from a field house project because someone on the staff or in the community had a skill with grants....so I guess it couldn't hurt.

I took a class on it during my undergrad. Basically it involves filling out alot of paperwork and sometimes writing an essay. The questions aren't difficult but it does get tedious and time consuming. Also, most of the time, grants aren't advertised. You have to do your homeork and research for them. I know NFL Youth Football use to offer equipment grants for programs.

Take the class. You can use grant writing for just about anything. One wayit could help would be to improve weight facilities, if you have a Weight Training class, tie it in with that so that students can use it as well as your athletes.

What would be a list of grants, other than the NFL?

Rather, how does one research/discover grants that would be available? I have some pretty boring days ahead of me (lots of substitute work and saturday schools) so if someone could steer me in the proper direction, I'd like to hunt around and see what's out there.

grants.gov is the government grant website.
Also corporations like Dole, Nike, and others also have grants.
