From Ned Colley at Texas Instruments:
I am happy to share with you a resource list of current federal and private (national and multi-state) grant opportunities. The document includes a hyperlinked index that connects you to a brief description, application/contact information and web link for each program. So be sure to whittle through them and find the ones that are appropriate for your subject, grade level, etc. Click here to download the document as a PDF file.
 
Don’t forget, free grant writing assistance is available from Texas Instruments! Please visithttp://education.ti.com/grants for info on that.
And, just for fun, the first person who can tell me the name of the Atlanta-based Foundation on page 17 of the attached document gets 2 tickets (Section 120!) to the Braves game on Sunday 9/18. It’s a 1:35pm game. My email address is ncolley@ti.com.
Good luck with these new opportunities!
