To accomplish this mission, the office offers the following myriad of services:
- Research and identify grant opportunities;
- Disseminate information on grant opportunities;
- Establish funding partnerships with non-profit organizations, institutions of higher education, community organizations, business and municipalities;
- Provide grant writing technical assistance;
- Collaborate with district offices and school-sites to align District priorities to appropriate funding opportunities;
- Assemble district grant proposals and prepare for submission
