My focus right now is getting ready to be a third grade teacher instead of a fifth grade teacher, and the charity of my choice, DonorsChoose.
This blog will be a site for you to learn the latest funding opportunities for DonorsChoose. Sometimes the opportunities last just a week or so. Since that is the case, learn about them here first and write that proposal so you don't miss the sponsorship match.
Right now you can get ready with a Lily Sarah Grace Fund grant.
The Lily Sarah Grace Fund is amazing! They help teachers get their projects funded through DonorsChoose. The Stepping Stone Grant is just about to be opened up, but the LSGF has requested that more people follow LSGF on Twitter. LSG funds grants that integrate the arts into an academic subject.

The Stepping Stone Grant submission period will open on September 1st. Stepping Stone Grants are funded twice a month. There is a rubric at the LSGF website which you should download and follow exactly! This will be your guide to getting your grant approved.You actually get graded with this rubric. Your DC proposal just isn't able to describe everything needed on the rubric, so there is an extra step to this grant.
You write a DonorsChoose proposal, just like usual. But then you go to the LSGF site and provide info about your proposal once it is posted. That is when you add details that show you are hitting the points on the rubric. You can even submit additional information to LSGF on your project by sending them an email.
The Stepping Stone Grant is for first-time applicants to LSGF and should meet the following criteria:
Grades K-5
Title 1 School
$450.00 Maximum Project Cost (They will pay 100% of this, but just not right away!)
