The Grants and Fund Development Center was established by the Wayne Regional Educational Service Agency (RESA) to assist in the procurement of additional funding for public education. Its mission is to help RESA provide innovative programs and services to schools in Wayne County and to build the capacity of schools to use the grant-seeking process to obtain the supplementary funds needed to provide all Wayne County students with equitable access to quality educational programs. In order to accomplish this mission the Grants and Fund Development staff maintains and provides:
 

	Grant Alerts: notices distributed through a web-based database containing possible grant opportunities for K-12 education;
	Electronic Newsletter: Searching for Dollars, contains tips for proposal development and fund procurement;
	Grants Listserve: distributes the electronic newsletter and also provides special information and notices;
	Training: provided through periodic, two-day workshops on the mechanics of winning grants;
	Technical Assistance: offers teams face-to-face and phone assistance focused on the actual preparation of grant application packages; and
	Consultation: helps districts develop (1) funding consortia and partnerships; (2) project designs; (3) funding resource location; and (4) managing projects

Information about these services is contained on these web pages. In addition to this information, these pages contain a PowerPoint Presentation of the Proposal Development process; resource materials for grant application preparation; website addresses for potential funding sources; online grant writing information; and contact information.
