Fundraising and Grant Writing. The Academy has developed an annual cycle for major fundraising activities to supplement its primary funding source. In addition to in-house fundraising efforts, the Academy has contracted with a professional grant writer in the past, with little success. We continue to seek out grant opportunities as appropriate, and to work through the state’s Charter School Network to develop new funding streams.
Fundraising and Grant Writing. Project Director will be responsible for all fundraising and grant writing efforts on behalf of the Project. Client has no obligation to fundraise on behalf of the Project. Because Client and the Project may at times seek funds from the same sources, Project Director and Sponsor Contact will maintain open lines of communication regarding fundraising efforts. The Project will not approach specific foundations, businesses, government entities, or individuals if Client is considering approaching them for funding and Client has directed the Project to not contact such potential funding sources. Project Director will not undertake any fundraising campaigns, submit any grant proposals, or charge a fee for any products or services in connection with the Project without first obtaining the approval of Sponsor Contact. Project Director is not an agent of Client for purposes of soliciting gifts, grants, and other contributions, and is not authorized to make any binding commitments, either express or implied, to funding sources on behalf of Client.
