Get Crowd-Sourced Grant Funding with DonorsChoose.org

This summer I presented two sessions at the 2018 Statewide Conference for Education of the Deaf. I am thanking my lucky stars because I stuck around for Ashley Pickens’ session on grant writing. She shared great information on DonorsChoose.org. This educator knows what she is talking about. Check out her credentials:  

Ashley is a Deaf Education Teacher in the Capital Area Regional Day School Program for the Deaf at McNeil High School. She is a Texas DonorsChoose.org Ambassador and Project Screener. Before every classroom project is posted and publicly searchable on DonorsChoose.org, trained teacher volunteers screen the project. These teacher volunteers verify that the teacher and the project meet the DonorsChoose eligibility requirements and follow up with any questions or concerns. Ashley’s first project for two Nook ebooks was funded in 2011. Year to date, Ashley has had 53 projects given the go ahead. Check out her DonorsChoose classroom
