Grants
The Grants Department of Donna ISD is responsible for providing opportunities to participate in grant programs through local, state, federal, and private sources. The department offers a range of services, including identifying funding sources and opportunities, developing grants, facilitating design team meetings, monitoring grant projects, and providing a central location for the development and dissemination of grant information. We also assist with grant compliance for local, state, and federal funding, distribute updates to Executive Cabinet members, and provide Grant Writing services. In addition, we conduct Grant Workshops for Donna ISD staff.
We are committed to facilitating the successful launch, execution, and compliance with reporting mandates for discretionary grants within Donna ISD. Should you seek financial support to advance initiatives within your Donna ISD department or campus, we welcome the opportunity to learn about your proposal. Likewise, if you identify a grant opportunity that aligns with your Donna ISD program or project, we encourage you to inform us. Please reach out to us to initiate a discussion on how we can collaborate to procure grant funding tailored to the needs of your department or campus. We look forward to the opportunity to partner with you in achieving your educational objectives.
To apply for any grant, you must complete and submit the Donna ISD INTENT TO APPLY for grant form to the Donna ISD Competitive Grants Department. For further assistance, please feel free to contact the Donna ISD Grant Development Department at (956) 461-4235.
