Grant Search

The School Funding Center does extensive grant searches for those schools who desire this service. Once a comprehensive search has been done, we provide the school with the 3-5 best funding sources that match the school's particular needs. Based on hourly fees, grant searches typically cost approximately $500.

3rd Party Evaluation

The School Funding Center offers trained professionals who serve as 3rd party evaluators, often visiting the school multiple times during the life of the grant to insure compliance with all grant stipulations. Depending on the number of visits and other services that are contracted, this fee for 3rd party evaluation ranges from 3% to 5% of the total grant award.
