Blue Street Communications serves all types and levels of educational institutions. We write all types of grants and proposals to funding sources, including federal, state, county, city, private foundation, and corporate givers. We conduct grant source research to identify potential funding opportunities for project concepts, edit client draft proposals and provide technical assistance, and  draft program plans for the provisioning of contract service.

We offer special grant writing packages based on 3, 5, and 10 Private Sector Proposals submission for the same concept.  These packages include funding source search with a database of over 70,000 private sector funders, proposals tailored to guidelines, cover letters, and letters of inquiry (if required).  Additionally, we serve faculty in their pursuit of research and development projects as individuals or members of teams.

Contact us so that we can show you how we can help you to obtain funding for your next program concept that needs to be supported by grants and  foundation funding. Fees for these packages depend on the scope and detail required for each proposal.  Learn about available grant types below.

What types of grants are available?

Foundation grants encompass areas most needed by schools such as curriculum development, equipment, seed money and program development.  

Federal grants are invaluable to school districts. We perform funding searches, research, and write Department of Education grants including all those related to No Child Left Behind and health/safety related grants. Math and science grants including those with the National Science Foundation, as well as corporate giving to schools for technology and other needs are also written.

State grants from Departments of Education and other state agencies with interests in education are vital to the ongoing development of schools. We perform funding searches, research, and write grant proposals to state Departments of Education and other agencies with education interests such as arts councils, health, and social services.

Corporate giving for both public and private schools is an increasingly sought after funding channel. Whether you know of a giving program or need a funding search to locate giving programs, count on us to prepare professional application forms and proposals to corporations.

Charter School Grants - As a supporter of educational reform, we offer special discounts on fees for charter schools for grant writing, technical writing, and evaluation consulting. Please call for the current specials. 

Private Schools rely on us to write foundation grants and corporate giving proposals for the full spectrum of their funding needs and often for Capital Campaigns. If your capital campaign has reached a plateau, or is in the early stages of development, contact us to discuss your funding goal and how a Capital Campaign Grant Proposal Package will help to achieve the targeted amount. Likewise, if your Annual Campaign has not been achieving your targeted goal, contact us to discuss how an Annual Campaign Grant Proposal Package or Challenge Grant Proposal Package could help you achieve.
