The Grant Writing Committee helps raise money for the PTC by writing specialized requests for funds. The written document targets a third party convincing them why Newman PTC should be granted the funds. After an idea is approved by the PTC and building administrators and teachers, details of the project are submitted to the grant writer. The grant writer then identifies and pursues possible sources of funding.

Volunteer Responsibility
A grant writing schedule is guided by the number of grants pursued at any given time. There may be several grant deadlines all around the same time. A grant writing schedule may also be guided by the size of the grant.
The grant writer first reads over the specific grant requirements. Then it’s the job of the writer to convince the source why Newman Elementary would be the best fit for receiving these funds. Once a grant application has been written it is forward to the Curriculum Committee for approval. At this point it may 1) go back to the writer for revisions 2) submitted for consideration 3) declined. Grant writing may take anywhere from two weeks to two months.
