PROBLEM<br>
As a member of a school community, whether a parent, teacher, or administrator one may be asked to find funding and support for a program that is in danger of being eliminated.  In many cases, writing a grant may be the last hope of saving a valuable program or staff member.  Writing grants is a complex and time consuming task.  It requires skills in researching various grant opportunities and careful attention to the writing process.  The internet gives the beginning grantwriter a distinct advantage.  The internet allows one to locate funding sources, access information about the grantwriting process and seek technical assistance as needed.  This can all be done from the personal computer.  This same process before the internet would require hours of research in the library.
